in fedora 22 it seems laptop lid handling works fine as long as you
leave things to logind/systemd.
xfce 4.12 messes it up. everything about systemd has always "just
worked" for me for as long as I've had this laptop (f20 -> f22) and
laptop lid stuff only broke when I opened up the xfce power settings
panel yesterday, out of curiousity about this thread.
restoring one of my older (<= fedora 21) xfce power config xml's makes
the laptop lid work. ie. logout, switch to a vt, then
% cd ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/
% cp xfce4-power-manager.xml xfce4-power-manager.xml.new_and_broken
% cat > xfce4-power-manager.xml << EOF

and that fixes it for me.
I suspect the above config is detected as being as in a previous format
by xfce4-power-manager and that causes power to be managed in a
different (non-overriding systemd?) way.
if you fire up the xfce settings -> power panel then there are 4 or 5
more fields added (including one about logind) and laptop lid no
longer works.
there seems to be a bunch of freedesktop power manager bugs open.

v219 systemd, 4.1.3 kernel, few years old powerbook, fedora 22, xfce 4.12,
xfce4-power-manager-1.4.4-1.fc22.x86_64
pretty different from your setup, but HTH anyway.
cheers,
