The cause was identified long ago

but still no one has applied a fix. I have two scripts. One of which
saves the files on logout and another which I run at login that waits 10
seconds, then restores the file and resets the desktop. That totally
solves it. Without my script, many of the icons reset and the others
remain because xfdesktop doesn't wait for the whole config file to be
read before continuing. The reset icons reassert their new position in
the files. It's a major annoyance to not be fixed for so long.
