Right, for some strange reason for the Italian (it) locale both
menu.xml.it and xfce-registered-categories.xml.it have two copies of
the content in each file 

Can you please remove both of these extra copies i.e. delete from the
second <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> down to the end of the
file.  They are in /etc/xdg/xfce4/desktop/menu.xml.it and
/etc/xdg/xfce4/desktop/xfce-registered-categories.xml.it.

It seems to be the xfce-registered-categories one that is killing it for
me.

If you can confirm that this fixes it for you I'll upload a fix
shortly and file a bug with upstream too as obviously it shouldn't die
on random input.

You may need to clear out .cache/xfce4/desktop/* before you test it.

Let me know.
