The screenshot beep on logout is "tied" to
xfsm_logout_dialog_screenshot_new(), which in turn is only called when
/general/ShowScreenshots is set. If you tick the box that says "Save
session for future logins", your current session will be saved in
~/.cache/sessions. The list of all saved session can be accessed in
the Session and Startup dialog, under Saved Sessions tab. The
ShowScreenshots property controls whether or not to display
thumbnails. If set, each time you open the logout dialog but before it
actually pops, a screenshot of your desktop is taken. If unset, no
screenshot is taken and no beep is emitted either.

I'm saying that it is a feature and not a bug. You can easily turn it
off, albeit not directly:
xfconf-query --channel xfce4-session --create --property
/general/ShowScreenshots --type bool --set false
After that, in place of thumbnails, the Xfce logo with a mouse in it
will be shown.
