Ended up with well over 6 gallons. That + a vigorous fermentation (not what I expected from washed WLP005 British Ale) gives you this. Switched from jar to bucket when I found it this way.

Nice one, O'. 
I overshot my postboil vols before (this is why I subsequently made a "dipstick" for each of my kettles out of CPV with markings for 5, 5.5 and 6 gals.), and I ended up with lighter "session" batches.

Luckily I hit 80+ efficiency, so the OG was spot on.

Since you hit your OG I don't see any problem...

A few extra beers is a good thing.

Not a problem at all, just a little messy floor. I'll gladly spend two minutes cleaning up for a few pints
