You're right, your interpretation is consistent with the documented example, whereas mine is consistent with the text of the log line. In that situation, I always assume the documentation is wrong, but that's just an assumption. If you or someone else has time to look at the algorithm and confirm how it actually works, we can update the wiki. If not, I'll get to it when I have time. In the meantime, you should investigate the conclusions from both algorithms, since you can't be sure which is correct.
I'd be interested to hear what you see via JMX. Also every durable subscriber on a topic has a subscription message that can't be GC'ed, so you're never going to get to zero files. I think I saw a recent JIRA enhancement to allow those messages to be replayed (into the newest file) when there are no messages on the topic. You might want to search for that enhancement and confirm whether it's in the version you're using, and upgrade if not.
