One solution I had in mind is:
original view {A,B,C}
- A continuously broadcast messages
- D starts joining
- A receives the new view: {A,B,C,D}
- A multicasts to {A,B,C} 
- D finishes the join (view install,state transfer) and sends and 
broadcasts an JoinCompleteMessage
- A receives JoinCompleteMessage, and from now on broadcasts messages
