If you read the rules Porter was actually allowed to be out there. The refs are allowed give permission to a coach and it's often a courtesy that they extend. It's not common, but coaches have gone to the injured players side in that situation before.
I will give you that they should have been aware of Porter being a firecracker and made him leave. They dropped the ball on that one. And likewise they probably should have recognized the potential volatility regardless of Porters presence and made the 5 Bengals who were mulling around the injured Brown move as well.
I disagree that they let him out there, otherwise he wouldn't have been fined.
As others have said, the league gave him a fine for being out there illegally and it not being caught.
Shit happens and the refs are only human, so it's hard to fault them 100%. Given the way the last game had gone, they should've had a new crew with instructions to flag everything anyways. If I recall, the head referee was the one who shit the bed last month as well.
