That was my first expectation - that they would go to the DLQ but they never appeared to go there. Perhaps the bug you mention is the reason. Having found this behaviour I went and did some searching - the outcome was that it sounded like brokers were expected to destroy the expired messages.
I'll have a look at AMQ-1112. Perhaps it's been fixed and I can get the latest snapshot and try again.
