The actual temporary queue _does_ get deleted on connection close, or explicit delete. However it seems the destination object remains in JNDI if you close the connection without explicitly deleting the temp destination. This will give a small resource leak (the actual destination object is very small). Since the leak is small, hopefully won't cause problems, but if so, workaround for now would be to make sure you explicitly delete the temp destination before closing the connection.
