I think adding a new property, Group.MemberIdentifiers: a{us}y, containing the
handle→identifier map of all members of any kind on the channel, would be
enough? I guess additions to this could be signalled before any other signal
that introduces a handle, such as Group.SelfHandleChanged.

It might also be nice if, when you call GetContactAttributes() for a
channel-specific handle, you get an attribute mapping them to their real
handle. This could be exposed as another TpContact in tp-glib. Maybe also
GetContactAttributes would return all the attributes for the handle's owner,
too?
