The only solution is to instantiate and start an AMQConnection subclass directly.

It doesn’t to me. JavaDoc for the executor parameter mentions that the executor is for consumers
to use. Heartbeat sender is an implementation detail. Using your own executor may result in skipped
heartbeats. 

Chances are some Google App Engine fixes will be in 3.3: one of the changes lets
you configure a ThreadFactory that will be used by anything in the client that instantiates threads.
