It can be reproduced in both Xfce 4.12 and 4.13 with a "forever" script:

Autostart-file in XFCE: ~/.config/autostart/autorun.xxx.desktop

Exec=/home/`<user>`/forEver.sh
GenericName[de_DE]=

StartupNotify=true
Terminal=false
TerminalOptions=
Type=Application
X-DBUS-ServiceName=
X-DBUS-StartupType=

File forEver.sh :

#!/bin/bash
while true 
do
`<executable binary or script>` 
done

##########

After logout from XFCE this <executable binary or script> is still running.
For test: i used xclock as <executable binary or script>
