I never have considered teleportation to be an issue. The simple shock of facing death, hearing the crash of the muskets and suddenly dropping to the ground as the rope was cut would have been incapacitating for anyone. That the Bab was able to keep his composure, walk calmly to his cell to finsih His covernsation is indicative enough of the miraculous nature of the event.
It might be interesting to consider the Muslim take on this incident. They said that if only the Bab had been able to keep his composure He could have stood before the crowd and proclaimed Himself the Mahdi and no one would have denied Him. But in His confusion He ended up running back to the barracks where He had been imprisoned and hid there until they dragged him back out.
