Indeed, thanks for your bug report. One folder is failing:
$ sudo gtk-update-icon-cache -ft /usr/share/icons/elementary-xfce/status/

There's a stray folder in /usr/share/icons/elementary-xfce/status/48/, named "untitled folder". When I delete it, the generation works again (sudo rm -rf /usr/share/icons/elementary-xfce/status/48/untitled\ folder/ && sudo gtk-update-icon-cache -ft /usr/share/icons/elementary-xfce).

  * Drop spurious 'untitled folder' from elementary-xfce icon theme, it makes
    gtk-update-icon-cache-3.0 fail. lp: #962225

As mentioned in the duplicate, the elementary-icon-theme package itself also ships:

 /usr/share/icons/elementary/status/48/untitled folder/

Upstream rejected the fix of just deleting the folder (in bug #786978) as it might cause issues with the panel icons. Will need to do some testing...
