Thanks for this, I got it working by specifying block.device (twice, once for
/dev/msdosfs/EFISYS and once for /dev/gptid/). Is there a way it can
key off (say) the volume name or UUID instead?
I tried a few keys like volume.uuid and volume.label but they don't work.
Perhaps that is because they are only filled in after the preprobe, hence the
rules don't match until after they could possibly take effect.
Thanks.

This would also exclude other useful devices.

The "granular" way is through hal policies. For example I have this in
/usr/local/etc/hal/fdi/preprobe/20thirdparty/10-ignore-EFI.fdi:
true
true
Hope this helps.
BTW there's some documentation here:

i'm not sure if there's a more granular way to do this. Alternatively,
you could create a /boot/efi or /boot/msdos or similar and mount it at
boot so that xfce doesn't even try it. EFISYS = EFI System Partition
("ESP"). Unsure why it's identified in the "Removable Device"
category.
