But 'dodgy balls' do not present the batting side with a five run bonus

Balls get replaced all the time for not being up to it, and invariably the fielding side bring this to the umpires' attention.

On this occasion, the batsmen were allowed to choose the replacement which only occurs when tampering is suspected.
