I tried to reproduce your problem, but could not. I created a simple script
(queue.js):

print("before:");
print(list_named_queues());
print("-");

new Queue("test");
console.pause();

print("after:");
print(list_named_queues());
print("-");

And I ran this one node, left it at the pause prompt, logged into another node
and ran it again leaving the second instance also at the pause prompt. Then I
hit a key on the first instance, hit a key on the second (so both scripts have
now terminated) and when running it again, it shows there are no named queues.
I tried letting the second script exit first and I get the same result.

Perhaps its the way in which you're executing the script (in the same scope as
your command shell maybe?). I just used ";EXEC ?queue.js", which should
simulate how it would execute as a door or loadable module. Or maybe you have
to write to the queue before the anomoly occurs? I don't enough information
currently to know. More details on how to reproduce the problem are requested!
