It shouldn't cause you to fail a checkride.
Problem is the FAA has said that to DPEs in newsletters a number of times, which suggests that there are those who don't accept it. If you end up with one of those you may get some extra questioning.
But if I read your post correctly, all you've really done is dump the teardrop. Flying the outbound course (on other than a direct entry) and turning back on the protected side is a parallel entry (never mind the silliness of people fighting about whether you are "allowed" to maintain better situational awareness by tracking outbound rather than hanging on the unprotected side)
