The 'message-id' header should cause an error in the broker STOMP
adapter when it appears with a SEND frame. (relevant test:
http://hg.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq-stomp/file/a0cfcfd9c7f2/test/src/lifecycle.py#l111)

So it should not be possible to send messages with a 'message-id'
header. Can you confirm that you see no evidence of an error?

The 'message-id' header is the only one explicitly disallowed by the
broker on SEND.
