So how does this deadlock, in what situations does this trigger?  If
there were a deadlock that happened every single time we tried to
transfer messages I'd expect people would have noticed...

This really isn't adequate, you need to provide a changelog.  Simply
saying that there is a deadlock is not enough, you need to say what the
deadlock is and why your change fixes it.
