Matthias has just pointed out that the problem can also be solved using
alternative exchanges and exchange-to-exchange bindings. If you chain
together three topic exchanges amq.topic, X and Y, and you set up an
alternate exchange on X in the way described here:

exchange amq.topic
 |
(bind A.#)
 |
exchange X  - (alternate exchange) Z - queue Q
 |
(bind #.B)
 |
exchange Y

then messages matching your criteria (matches A.# but not #.B) published
to amq.topic will end up in queue Q.
