Ondrej Majerech suggested that xfce startup problems might be due to old 
config settings, so I tried this:

Move .config somewhere safe.
Start xfce with no .config, then quit.
Delete the new .config it just created.
Restore the old config.

On both of the systems tested, xfce with xfce4-session installed now 
starts every time.  Posted this at the end of another thread, but no 
feedback yet on whether it works for other systems, and no real idea 
on why it works.
