Pretty common for a sensor like this to fail intermittantly, the light might stay on for a certain amount of ignition cycles after that fault.
There's no way of telling how often it will play up again, if at all. The engine shouldn't shut down as (like you said) it can run off the crank sensor, it may just eliminate a few different modes - for example, cars that I've played with will still run without a cam sensor signal but won't have 'sequential injection' mode.
