The amq.gen queue is declared as exclusive. From 
http://www.rabbitmq.com/ha.html:

   Exclusive queues will be deleted when the connection that declared
   them is closed. For this reason, it is not useful for an exclusive
   queue to be mirrored (or durable for that matter) since when the node
   hosting it goes down, the connection will close and the queue will
   need to be deleted anyway.

   For this reason, exclusive queues are never mirrored (even if they
   match a policy stating that they should be). They are also never
   durable (even if declared as such).

Uh, that's not the case; you can connect to any node to publish to a 
non-mirrored queue, it just gets routed inside the cluster.
