   Untested solutions that come to my mind:

   1) use two planet objects: one without reflection nor photons block,
the other with reflection and photons but with a "no_image" modifier.

   2) use a two pass render: on the first pass save the photons, on the
second load the photons and get ride of the reflection on the planet finish.

   Hope this helps...
