Thanks for reporting this and including all the logs etc. This looks 
like a bug - the queue asks the message store to remove its messages but 
for some reason the message store knows nothing about them.

We haven't seen this bug before. Nor have we touched the code in that 
area since 2.8.4. So I'm afraid an upgrade is unlikely to improve matters.

Btw, are you saying that after restarting the broker, a renewed attempt 
at purging the queue fails again? If so then it would be incredibly 
useful if you sent us a copy of the entire rabbitmq mnesia dir (usually 
under /var/lib/rabbitmq/mnesia/<nodename>) since that should allow us to 
reproduce the problem.

Matthias.
