Ok, I've managed  what I think is the same problem you're seeing. What I 
did was:
1. Modify xfce4-panel (add some new plugin, remove exiting one etc)
2. Switch to virtual terminal (chvt 1)
3. Kill X server.

After that when I start xfce4 once again, there is high chance that 
xfce4-panel will crash. I couldn't reproduce the problem if I cleanly 
logged out from xfce4. I've tried it several times and everything works 
as I'd expect it to. My guess is that the problem arises when xfconfd is 
killed while it's trying to save something to the disk. Looking at the 
changelog only this [1] commit looks like it might have anything to do 
with the issue. Other ones seem harmless. I'll try to look into this 
closer when I'll have some free time.
