Still sounds like a communication/coordination issue to me. If the ride is specified with a certain speed, and that is the expectation/desire of most of the group, perhaps the leader should do some yelling.
It's pretty normal for the groups I ride with to fragment along the route and then regroup at the stops, since they're primarily social rides. As long as everyone knows where the next stop is, they're fine with it.
