I expect that means the 'subject' field of the 'properties' section of the
AMQP message is set, and not a 'property' called 'subject' in the
'application-properties' section (which is where the spout-id property is
presumably being set).

As the filter in question is specifically only covering functionality
required for JMS (specifically mapping the JMS Headers to the relevant
fields in the AMQP headers and properties sections, and JMS properties to
the AMQP application-properties section) its not clear to me that it allows
for selection of the 'subject' field in the 'properties' section, because
that isn't used to map any of the JMS headers or property values and so
effectively isn't discussed.
