I suspect the queue is expiring before the second queue.declare. The 
expiry value in the test is just 300 milliseconds. Depending on network 
conditions and load on dev.rabbitmq.com, that could easily get exceeded.

So a) choose a higher value, and b) consider using 'nowait=true' in the 
queue.declare and pipeline the two requests (I have no idea whether 
node.amqp can do that, but it should ;) in order to minimise the effects 
of network latency.
