It's not so much a case of giving auto-delete precedence over durable 
but of simply implementing what the spec says.

Durable queues can be deleted like any other queue. This can happen 
explictly via queue.delete, or implicitly via auto-deletion which, as 
the name suggests, is just automatic deletion based on some triggering 
criteria.

So, IMHO, the observed behaviour follows directly and unambiguously from 
the spec.
