In my mind there should have been a go around call right after the point where the pilot doesn't follow instructions and turns late.
While I can't comment on the performance of the approach, I suspect there's a big difference between the chap in the jump seat advising where/when to turn (based on his experience of flying into Paro), and actually commanding the PF to go-around.
