Oh, dear. I actually removed that for 4.2, because I didn't think anyone 
needed that. I was being lazy because I didn't want to think about where 
to put the files according to the basedir spec. It doesn't really allow 
for anything else then config files and data files. I guess something 
like ~/.local/lib/xfce4/panel-plugins might be appropriate.

You can add an enhancement request to bugzilla.xfce.org if you like.
