Actually this bug seems to be easy to reproduce:

1. Adjust the colum-size of the panel to something odd
2. Logout
3. Login
---> All Icon-Posotions will reset

If you already have profiles for all possible free-screen-size
combinations, delete some of the configs in ".config/xfce4/desktop," to
make the bug happen again.

IMO one aspect which makes thing over-complex is, that profiles are
saved per free-screen-size in .config/xfce4/desktop, instead of saving
them per display-configuration (monitor setup and resolution).

IMO not good to make smart decisions for the user when only free-screen-
size changes ... the user can re-sort desktop items on its own on things
like panel-size change.

Hope I will find some time to work on this bug soon.
