That would seem like a worthwhile addition. Care to submit a patch?

That really shouldn't happen, from an AMQP protocol perspective. Was 
there anything noteworthy in the server logs? Is this reproducible? If 
so it may help to run via rabbit's tracer 
(http://www.rabbitmq.com/examples.html#tracer) or wireshark to see 
what's happening at the protocol level and thus determine whether there 
is a problem at the server end (highly unlikely) or client.
