There is no way that basic.get would end up removing the queue.

I can't see anything obviously wrong with your code, though there 
probably is. You may want to pare it down to the bare essentials: a) 
don't create any exchanges - just use the default exchange ("") for 
publishing to the MessageQueue and use the standard "amq.fanout" 
exchange for the x-dead-letter-exchange, and b) don't use an 
x-dead-letter-routing-key.

Also, you didn't say what version of the RabbitMQ server you are 
running. Dead-lettering was introduced in 2.8.0.
