The server is probably "too fast": seeing the first subscription, the
queue starts relaying out messages and manages to get through a large
number of them before it sees the second subscription. The queue is an
asynchronous process, independent of the channel process your client is
talking to.

If you wanted to experiment with this stuff some more, you could see
what effect basic.qos has on this behaviour.
