No there was never a penalty issued. ISTR reading that it was never taken further because SFW and PH did not want to have the driver's title decided in a court room out of respect to the loss of Senna earlier that year in their car. They had also already won the (to them) more important Constructors title. Because Williams were not prepared to officially protest MS the FIA took it no further.
Happy to be corrected but that is my memory with reading back after the event and retrospective team comments.
Edit: OK, curiosity re was my memory correct had me go online to see if I could find something to reassure me / my memory. I did not find the article I remember reading, but I did find one saying basically the same. it seems it was indeed a retrospective (maybe years later)interview with (S)PH. Link follows:
