Obviously, it
is the player's responsibility to protect his hand (also the player's responsibility to follow the action), but mistakes do happen, and sounds to me that the dealer made one.
I think the Floor was simply unwilling to admit that the dealer might have erred, and didn't know how to handle it correctly.
In this case, I think the floor should have agreed that the dealer might have erred, but (assuming the cards were irretrievable) that it had to stand as a fold, and given the player back his $5.
I think that ejecting the player was way over the top, assuming that OP was accurate; probably floor should have invited the player to join him off to the side for a more private and calmer discussion.
