Update: For me, a working - but rather dirty workaround - is to disable "save session on logout" in XFCE's settings manager (and then on the logout dialog as well!).

Unless you really need that session-save feature, just make sure, that the currently saved session includes your window manager and press "save session" once so the window manager is restarted on login. After that, you should be fine.
