Yes you do. 

The jms parameters are non-normative in the spec
so this can't be a compliance issue.
JavaEE connectors 1.5 appendix B

What that section does say is that the destinationType should be required
if it is not in the legacy mdb descriptor:

B-2.1.2

It is also documentated as mandatory here:
http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/ConfigJMSMessageListener
We do copy it from the legacy mdb descriptor when it is not in the
activation spec and the jms inflow is configured

See org.jboss.ejb.plugins.JBossJMSMessageEndpointFactory.

So quick fix:
Just add the destinationType activation config property to jboss.xml

We could try to default it by looking at the interfaces of the destination.
Nice for ease of use, but bad for people writing portable applications,
i.e. works on JBoss but fails on others because of missing mandatory configuration.
