I just did an apt upgrade from Buster 10.7 to 10.12, and it removed my xfce4 panel plugins for cpufreq, cpu0-temp, netload, and places. That is removed them from the panel. The plugins are still there in '/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xfce4/panel/plugins' I've followed the instructions to install extra plugins to the panel, but it seems like none from the xfce4-goodies package are available to be installed. xfce4-about doesn't even tell me which version is running. According to the Synaptic Package Manager all my xfce4 bits and pieces are present and up to date. Trying to add a plugin manually gives:
$ xfce4-panel --add=xfce4-cpufreq-plugin
(xfce4-panel:22901): dbind-WARNING **: 16:42:52.852: Couldn't register with accessibility bus:
Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply,
the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network
connection was broken.
Where else should I look?

Sounds like a dbus error? Not sure.
Have you tried googling 'xfce plug-in' and then that error message?
I've searched 'xfce plugin' with various error symptoms but not that specific message. There are a number of people who have had the trouble I used to get on mate desktp, having to delete and reconstruct new xfce4 cache and config, but nobody else has the same problem of plugins not showing as available for plugging in.

I find it highly unlikely that a new point release for oldstable would break anything.
Have you added any foreign repositories? How about testing/unstable? Or even the current stable repositories.
And for the record I think that a11y message is inconsequential and can be ignored. Did you check the journal or X.Org log for anything else?
EDIT: and do you still experience the problem if you create a fresh user with which to log in?
Sincere apologies to all, Buster didn't break anything, I broke Debian. I had rebuilt my xfce4-screenshooter to get saving in more formas than .png. All was good until I rebooted after the Buster upgrade. For my sins I've now done a clean install of Bullseye 11.3 and have spent a little while reinstalling my trinkets . . .
