Assuming a consumer is acknowledging messages correctly then the only time I have seen the dequeue count on the topics page of the web console be non-zero is when consumers are using transactions. That's been my experience. Not sure why though.
Regardless, what dequeue count do you expect to see when there are, say, 10 subscriptions to the same topic and you're looking at a topic wide dequeue count? For a topic a dequeue count only really makes sense on a per subscription basis (as seen on the subscribers page) especially considering that each subscription to the same topic would most likely have been created at different points in time. However, the dequeue count for a queue is, of course, completely unambiguous.
