@Thaddaeus, I restored the icon size to 48, updated xfdesktop4 from your PPA, and I can happily confirm: the issue is solved ! I tried both logging out and back in, as well as rebooting the laptop, and the icons stayed put in their positions.
So no need to workaround the issue anymore by changing the icon size to 40.
