Yes, it does sound like a hack now that you mention it. But how about a 
special variable for the task?

Giving a "xprop" to a kmail window I see a variable WM_COMMAND(STRING) = { 
"kmail" }. Maybe a variable of this kind can be defined for xftree, and have 
xfwm use it to open each particular xftree window in the last expanded 
directory?
