No, one of the commentators mentioned it in passing during the South Korea v Algeria match earlier today and I looked into it.
I'd also like to point out that the consequences of the 1982 match were very reminiscent of what FIRST might do should a situation like this arise:
-The two teams involved didn't admit to anything
-No action was taken against the two teams because no rules were actually broken
-The team that was negatively effected filed an official complaint with the FIFA administration
-A rule update was applied to the next applicable tournament
