No, this is probably either a) the location being distro-specific, or b) 
you installing Xfce to a prefix other than /usr.

Why are you using xfce4-terminal?  It is unmaintained and doesn't work 
very well.  You should be using Terminal.  Regardless, I have not 
experienced the problem you describe.

Yup, known issue.  libxfce4menu has some bugs that haven't been ironed 
out yet.  If this is a problem for you, you shouldn't be running svn 
trunk.  Don't ever expect it to be production-worthy, or even stable 
(though in practice it's usually pretty stable).
