I have no idea...

Why can't the "join rate" avoid such undesired cell allocations? If the 
join rate is properly configured, incoming join requests don't cause 
such allocations, do they?

 
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-6tisch-minimal-security-14#section-8.4
    o  join rate: Average data rate (in units of bytes/second) of join
       traffic forwarded into the network that should not be exceeded
       when a joined node operates as a JP, encoded as an unsigned
       integer.

 
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-6tisch-minimal-security-14#section-7.2
    The PROBING_RATE value at the JP is controlled by the join rate
    parameter, see Section 8.4.2.  Following [RFC7252], the average data
    rate in sending to the JRC must not exceed PROBING_RATE.  For
    security reasons, the average data rate SHOULD be measured over a
    rather short window, e.g.  ACK_TIMEOUT, see Section 9.

The recommended PROBING_RATE is 1 byte/second. I'm not sure how to 
interpret this value, though.... The time window to calculate the "rate" 
should be small enough, I believe.
