Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I attached an strace to the indicator plugin and then clicked the CopyAgent indicator, this is the last few lines of the strace output.

I also attached gdb to it and did a bt after I clicked it and it crashed. I'm not too familiar with bt, nor am I running aversion of xfce4-indicator-plugin with debugging symbols, but hopefully it's some help.

This no longer crashes after an upgrade to Trusty. However, the CopyAgent indicator menu now becomes corrupt soon after loading and can not be used.

I can confirm this. CopyAgent stopped to display its menu properly when upgraded to Trusty. In saucy I used the "other" notification plugin where CopyAgent worked properly.
