I figured out what's going on here.

xfce-4.14 accepts only GTK-3 themes and the themes in gtk-xfce-engine
are GTK-2.

The xfce-4.14 release notes say:

And in the changelog:

So basically, if you want a theme other than the default, you will have
to download one and it has to be for gtk3 ;)

I guess we should remove the gtk-xfce-engine port?
