I just wanted to be sure that there were no mechanisms introduced by amqp-client which could be causing any additional ShutdownListener delays, and it sounds like there are not.

I'm pretty sure there's nothing untoward going on in the java client in that respect. You might want to consider enabling AMQP heartbeats to ensure 'timely' detection of disconnects in situations where there's a possibility of network interruption.
