It is possible to create a bad Queue

[localhost:9999 messaging] pwd
/profile=default/subsystem=messaging
[localhost:9999 messaging] ./queue=newQ:add(queue-name=newQ)

returns success

[localhost:9999 messaging] ls queue=newQ
[localhost:9999 messaging] :read-children-names(child-type=queue)

{ "outcome" => "success", "result" => ["newQ"], "compensating-operation" => undefined }

Now shut down the domain and try to restart - this fails
