There are a few instances where this is discussed with xfce and icon themes. Here, as well as with this linked bug [1]
/usr/share/icons/hicolor is a valid location to place icons[2], and it is recommended that icon themes inherit this theme. As Simon suggested, this has the benefit that it supports multiple icon sizes. /usr/share/pixmaps is another valid location. As the linked bug points out, it would probably be best to create a generic "xfce" theme that gets inherited, but again this requires all icon themes be updated with the new inherited location. Really, there are two tasks here. One, xfce components should install generic icons if they provide launchers depending on those icons. Two, icon themes need to inherit hicolor if they are not already.
