One thing that may differ between deleting the queue before the transaction
is committed vs. after is any sort of DLQ behaviour; e.g. if the queue is
deleted after commit, then the message may be moved to a DLQ... but if the
queue is deleted first, will commit the transaction still cause the message
to enqueue into the DLQ.  These sort of ambiguities are why I prefer
rejecting an attempt to commit the transaction.
