Looks like the Crew were 100% right in my book: They exercised extreme caution and decided it was not safe to taxi clear if they did not know where they were due to the lighting. The took the aircraft safely out of danger and in the runway run off area, rather than stop on the runway itself.

In my view if there are issues with the runway exit, the airport are at fault for not having a follow me van out there to cover all situations.
