That is the way it works, and there is no obvious workaround, except 
letting the member leave the group.
The whole concept is based on synchronized reception, although not as 
restrictive as ABCAST.
Some receivers are allowed to get ahead of others, but only to a certain 
limit, typically some hundred messages.
If it goes beyond that the whole bus will slow down to retain synchronism.

You could possibly get around it by creating more groups, or having this 
as differing instance from the rest of the group (falling back to group 
multicast), but it all depends on your needs and your design.
