The message was already sent, so it's not in the outgoing queue. The
queue only contains messages that could not be immediately shoved over
the socket.

There are messages on the incoming queue that are not replies and that
you didn't explicitly ask for. When you borrow, you can get these.
send_with_reply_and_block does not empty the queue, it only removes
the one reply that matches the message you sent, it does not remove
anything else.
