Your opinion disagres with the xfce4-settings documentation:

http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-settings/display

See section "Primary display":

"Check this option to provide a hint to panels, docks and the desktop
that the selected display is the primary display."

If you want panels on every monitor you could choose not to have a
primary display selected.

Your proposed behavior anyway is not user friendly. After configuring
your primary monitor in xfce4-settings you have to enter the panel
settings again and configure the monitor where you want the panel. If
this is true for each software (panel, docks, icons) you have a lot of
configuration to do when you plug in a larger monitor (but only on your
right, if the monitor is on the left you're a lucky guy).

I guess this is linked to a long running xfce bug that never made it to
xfce4-panel.
