I suspect that the queue size somehow include the number of obsoleted messages in the queue? Is this expected behaviour, or is this a bug?
It's both. There's a todo in the code to properly update the queue size stat when a message expires. For most stats ActiveMQ doesn't directly query for the information (for example there's nothing like persistenceAdapter.getQueueSize("my.queue") currently), rather it keeps running counters that change based on various events. This unfortunately means that stats can disagree with reality when there are bugs or gaps in the implementation. This of course should be pretty rare.
It looks like someone filed a Jira on this a few months ago: http:// issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/AMQ-879
