16.04 here. Same problem.

Approach A.
1) I bind 'Pause' button to 'close_window_key' action:
xfconf-query --create --channel xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts --property '/xfwm4/custom/Pause' --type string --set 'close_window_key'
2) It don't work.

Approach B.
1) I do the same thing through the GUI.
2) It works.
3) Until reboot.

Approach C.
1) I reset the ''/xfwm4/custom/Pause' property:
xfconf-query --reset --channel xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts --property '/xfwm4/custom/Pause'
2) I bind 'Pause' button to 'close_window_key' action:
xfconf-query --create --channel xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts --property '/xfwm4/custom/Pause' --type string --set 'close_window_key'
