The real solution would be for the receiver to interpret this 
somewhat differently: jump to the *nearest* bar.

A small variation of this would be to not jump to the nearest
bar but apply a small tempo change (proportional to the distance
to the nearest bar). The result of a series of sync messages
would then be to align both tempo and beat without any jumps.
This is a phase locked loop in fact.
