It depends on usage, you can say:

\defineframedtext
   [MyFrame]
   [frame=off,
    location=none,         % try this
    background=MyFrame,
    width=6cm,
    height=fit,
    style=small]

in which case you can use the start/stop but then in running text usage 
you loose positioning of the result you (probably no big deal in your case)

think of the framed being aligned in a box when location is not 'none' 
and that box has textwidth so that's why you get the wide combination
