I was fighting with this same thing last night! The issue is a package called xserver-xorg-legacy detailed here #2875

A quick fix is to enter the chroot with sudo enter-chroot -n CHROOTNAME and run sudo apt remove xserver-xorg-legacy

xfce will start after this.

As far as i can tell, this issue effects Stretch, Sid, & Kali-Rolling
