Somewhere in the depths of my mind I seem to recall that a similar
problem was mentioned, many moons ago, but searching the lists I can't
seem to find any mention.

You could try eliminating the window manager inside of xfce and seeing
if the problem goes away. If it doesn't, then it is likely to be
ubuntu specific, since the WM manages Xfce's shortcuts.
