no one of us is using Xfce so we couldn't have tested a migration within
Xfce. But yes, it looks like zenity needed to be installed additionally on
Xfce.

We can't add zenity as a dependency directly to thunderbird. We can't
add any such dependency for thunderbird as it would be overbloated for
the migration.
But we need to ensure we have the fallback for a desktop notification on
the system. This fallback is xmessage from the x11-utils package. I
added this package to the dependency list of thunderbird.
