Sadly, whilst the "empty queue name" does result in creation of a new
queue with a random name (or refers to the most recently declared
queue), the "empty exchange name" refers to the "default exchange". Yay
for consistency.

You'll need to do a guid generation step in the client I'm afraid to
name the exchange.
