You can work around it using hfsc's realtime:
hfsc(realtime (0Kb 300 128Kb))
   1.  0Kbit of bandwidth guaranteed for the first 300ms
   2. After 300ms 128Kbit of bandwidth is provided
   3. When using this method, the first value must be 0.

Though, this only works when under pressure. If enough bandwidth is available, 
the delay won't happen.
