I can confirm the same bug, and it's repeatable.

I log into Xubuntu which loads normally, then change my desktop to include an external monitor using this command...
xrandr --output VGA --mode 1440x900_60.00 --above LVDS
...where LVDS is a 1280x768 builtin LCD on my laptop, and the VGA is attached to an Acer AL1916W widescreen monitor.

Subsequently a launch of Thunar will create windows with huge fonts, requiring the above gtk config workaround to restore the fontsize.

It's possible that it is somehow related to very confused xfce desktop values, as revealed in this display-dimensioning bug which I reported following the same xrandr invocation...
