Without looking at code, if the receiving task is blocked on the 
queue_receive, then when m1 is sent, it is immediately given to the
task and not enqueued.   Even if the receiver is suspended.

 From your description, I can't tell why the other two would not
show up in m3, m2 unless it is running or there are multiple receivers.

Given your description and assuming no other receivers:

   - m1 directly to receiver
   - m2 should be enqueued as only message pending
   - m3 should be prepended to pending messages

Do you have a small test case?

This code would not have changed since then. :)
