Simon and I were discussing that very scenario today and concluded that 
rabbit is probably exhibiting the wrong behaviour here. I have filed a bug.

An interesting related issue is whether a client should be able to 
add/remove bindings for such queues while they are unavailable. I reckon 
the answer is 'no'.
