Myself I copy xinitrc file taken from sysutils/xfce4-utils ( find
/usr/local/etc -type f -regex 'xinitrc' -print) and create symbolic
link for .xsession.
My ~/.xsession-errors is almost empty:

Agent pid 1441
xfdesktop[1459]: starting up
xfce4-settings-helper: Another instance is already running. Leaving...

I run Xfce 4.8 right from the beginning (4.8pre1) and I never got any
problem with xfce4-panel  (I always backup ~/.config).
