I think it's probably a problem in pheanstalk only, but underscores in queue names are not supported, I got the following error:

WD beanstalk: BAD_FORMAT in response to 'use my_queue' in                                                [error]

When I changed the queue name to 'myqueue' it worked fine.

This was changed as requested by the git migration team, see http://drupalcode.org/project/beanstalkd.git/commit/064cf4007f99 for the commit.

I will investigate this further and revert it needed.

I have tried this on the latest version of beanstalkd 1.4.6 and I have not having the problems.

You can test this by telneting to the beanstalkd server and I am able to use my_queue and it is fine.
