redelivery takes place on the consumer (client side only), so from the broker perspective the messages is seen as inflight to a consumer.
Redelivery respects order, so a message pending redelivery with a delay will pause delivery of later messages to that consumer. Check in jconsole (jmx stats) to see the inflight count for each consumer. If you reduce the consumer prefetch to 0, you will only ever have a single message pending and if it is being redelivered it will show up on the inflight count. That should help identify what is going on. Also peek at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-3894 - there is a good discussion of redelivery and blocking and ordering in the related/linked jiras and the new broker side implementation is discussed.
