It really depends on one's definition of dharma.
If one defines dharma as our simple understanding of right & wrong, then what you wrote is correct - it certainly ain't dharma. Since in this case, the Pandavas violated their marital vows to protect Draupadi, to pick just one out of a mukut.
But if one defines dharma as something simply done/endorsed by $DEITY, then it becomes dharma by definition, no matter how vile the act in question itself is. I myself reject such arguments, and consider anybody making them as religious trolls. But it's really worthless getting into an argument on that once this latter definition becomes the baseline.
