Publishing is asynchronous. AFAICT the test node does not guarantee that 
all published messages have made it to the queues by the time 
populate_queues terminates. Some messages could still sit in various 
network or internal (pre-routing) buffers. If you then, concurrently, 
delete the queues and recreate them, the buffered messages will get 
routed to the newly created queues.

That's one explanation. The other possibility is that one of the other 
issues you reported is somehow causing this. Obviously if rabbit 
internals are exploding in various interesting ways (indicated by errors 
getting written to the SASL logs), as is happening in your tests, then 
all bets are off.
