If they would have gotten the warning, went around, and filed an ASAP, then they would have been covered.
Hindsight is always 20/20, I hope these guys get back in the air.
I agree an ASAP should have been filed. But you are lumping the CA and FO together with equal responsibility. If the CA is flying the FO is a monitor. It's still the CA's show. If the FO made unstable callouts but did not see a danger to landing the FO did not do anything wrong.
Lots of ifs....
