Well that is the way I have been handling it all year. I politely explain to the opposing coach that the substituting team is given the opportunity to complete their substitution.

Generally I will guess it may happen once or twice a game. If I see it being a constant problem then I will address it with the "offending" coach and tell him he needs to get his subs in and out quicker because he is starting to take advantage of the rule.

The formation that we all see I bet is the punting/punt return teams coming on and off. These are usually just a cluster-(you know what). At these times I try and do a little preventive by taking an extra second or two to set the ball ready for play so nobobdy is taken advantage of and also help the guys in my crew.
