What do you have the preference in xfce4-power-manager set to do on lid
close? Is it set to suspend there? Or just 'nothing' or 'lock screen' ?

xfce4-power-manager inhibits systemd and does indeed handle those
events. So, the question here is what the Original poster had the pref
set to. ;) Note that this was fixed in an update, when f18 was
released, xfce4-power-manager did not inhibit systemd, so systemd
handled those things directly. This may be why a change in behavior was
seend.
