James -- since Virtual Topics were designed to get around durable subscription limitations, I would assume it would carry the same semantic. Regardless whether I "re-start" the consumer or not, if I have registered an interest in FOO at some point, I should never lose any messages sent to FOO. So if the broker goes down and comes up and someone sends messages to FOO and then I come along as a consumer and say "I am back, can I see what's new on FOO?" I should absolutely get the messages... however, as it is right now in 4.1, it is as if the broker is treating consumer queues as temporary/non-durable -- they are relevant only through the life of the broker. Since this differs from durable topic semantics, I'd say this is indeed a defect. Interestingly, it may have been fixed in the 5.x tree... perhaps we can backport the fix (if I knew where it was) to 4.1.
