For intended purposes like the "Quantum repeater" I believe it does not matter if the photons really stopped or wobbling in some very small space. For the repeater they need to time shift photons. (IMHO, I have no idea what I'm talking about :) )

If they are not halted and then let go, but instead bouncing back and forth, there's a chance that when you open the Cristal it may exit by the other side. Also the imprinted image may be lost or fuzzier.
