I can understand the waitstaff's reaction.  I cannot understand why
anyone would not have known that the free promotion was for the
breakfast item only, and did not include any sides that they might
order.  I really hope that the waiters did not have to eat the unpaid
items.

Like you, when we use a coupon or free offer of any type, we make a
point to tip based on the price before discount.  IMO, that is the only
fair thing to do.
