there is a periodic checkpoint of broker state that writes to the journal. You can configure a longer checkpointInterval to verify that this is what is happening. see: http://activemq.apache.org/kahadb.html
The checkpoint state contains a producer audit it that is written even if it is not modified which should not be the case. I have opened https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-3833 to track this. The journal files get reclaimed so the impact is low, but I agree, it does indeed look a little odd and is a waste of cycles.
