Any updates on this issue?  This seems very similar to a problem we are
experiencing with the broker halting dispatch of messages to consumers that
are ready and able to receive messages.  Our problem definitely seems to be
surrounding the flagging of messages as persistent.  Our current work-around
is we installed a plug-in that turns off the persistent flag before the
message is inserted into the broker destinations.  This allowed us to avoid
any client-side code/logic changes.  Once we forced all messages to turn off
the persistent flag, then all of our messages are flowing without any
hiccups.

I am very suspect of the code logic inside ActiveMQ that handles persistent
message routing and delivery.  This is with the shipping 5.1.0, 5.2.0, and
previous 5.3-SNAPSHOT versions.  I haven't updated 5.3 in about a month, so
I can't speak to the very latest version.
