The Ouro portal is technically a pet. It has always been so.

Yup! if you turn on the option to see pet health like mastermind's have (so, like for a controller) it shows up as a pet when you summon it.
Seems to be WAI.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

To be honest I probably noticed this months back and thought it was weird but not much else. I hardly ever use my Ouro portal and when I do I usually click it right after summoning it, or I summon the portal for someone else. The reason why I noticed it this time is because I intended to use it and something, unusual for me, happened. lol|

Hmm..........thinking about it, I suppose it could be "working as intended". My only guess is that the only way they could have the portal on a 5 minute timer was for it to act as though it was a pet, kinda like some pets that expire after a certain time like Dark Servant, Haunt, Phantom Army, etc. That would make sense to me. If anybody else could explain it better for a noob like me, please do so.
P.S. Thanks Texas and the others who responded to give me 'technical' support since this doesn't appear to be a bug and I'm a noob.
If you remember back when the Oz portal was new, they were absurdly abusable because they were real entities. People were running Hami raids and, instead of having anyone tanking, people would just drop a bunch of portals inside the goo, and Hami would go crazy trying to attack them (which obviously didn't work too well).

People were also doing silly things such as dropping O-portals on top of mission entrances (especially the in-ground entrances, submarine hatches, etc) to keep people from being able to click on the mission entrance.

Yeah, I remember them being used to tank the Thorn Tree of MoSTF runs.

Badging character: Bimble on the Union server, Badgehunter.com and City Info Tracker.
I summoned an Ouroboros portal then desummoned my pets on my Mastermind and the portal disappeared. I was in Grandville. I thought this was just a glitch because it was in the middle, or start, of a Nemesis invasion.
After the invasion I tested it and took screen shots. Sure enough when I /release_pets my Ouro portal vanished and was not clickable.
Summoned portal:
Released pets:
During posting this I noticed something in my screen shot.........the Ouro portal showed up in the pet window prior to releasing my pets, which explains that part. How long has it been like this? I've been playing since freedom and never noticed this before and I keep the pet window open on all characters, even ones that done have pet summons. So I'm going to say this is a bug, in my opinion.
