I really don't have much to add to what I said months ago, and what the others have said here is correct: there are some situations that are just too bizarre / stupid for there to be an actual rule on them.  In those situations, the tournament director makes a ruling as to whatever he thinks the fairest outcome is and everyone abides by it.
 
This sounds like it was definitely one of those situations.  There's no way to fix the problem and get the correct cards out on the board, and an outcome for the hand (correct or otherwise) hasn't been reached so it's different to the missing burn card hand that we've been discussing in the other thread.  Plus there's only two players involved in the action, so it's relatively easy to split the pot back up and return the chips to their original owners.
 
If I were the TD, I strongly suspect I'd do the exact same thing.  The deck is a mess beyond correction, but the pot isn't and the game can be returned to the state it was in before the hand took place.  It shouldn't happen in the first place, but once it has I think they probably took the best of a bad bunch of options.
