Take a missing burn card for example:
If dealer forgets to burn before the flop, and there has been ANY action, the flop stays.
If a player checks, on a flop of A49, we can't say, well there wasn't substantial action - let's flip em over, scramble and select a random card to be the burn. Now what if the flop becomes 249 and the player that already checked now bets?
So since the rule in this case would be that the flop stays, even with 1 check, I believe in your situation, the river card should've stayed.
