Looks good:

$ uname -r
3.6.0-0.345.gb940faa144ca.x86_64

$ rm -iv /dev/mqueue/mqtest
rm: cannot remove '/dev/mqueue/mqtest': No such file or directory

$ touch /dev/mqueue/mqtest

$ stat --printf '0x%04f/%A %n (%F)\n' /dev/mqueue /dev/mqueue/mqtest
0x43ff/drwxrwxrwt /dev/mqueue (directory)
0x81a4/-rw-r--r-- /dev/mqueue/mqtest (regular file)

$ cat /dev/mqueue/mqtest
QSIZE:0          NOTIFY:0     SIGNO:0     NOTIFY_PID:0

$ rm -iv /dev/mqueue/mqtest
rm: remove regular file '/dev/mqueue/mqtest'? y
removed '/dev/mqueue/mqtest'

Same behavior as on Linux.
