Except it's not. System would be perfectly usable with xfce4-mcs-plugin
and without xfce4-mcs-manager (it wouldn't make much sense, but still).
Preferring to ignore a Breaks: in order to keep a Recommends: satisfied
looks to me like the wrong thing to do, though I'm not fluent enough in
dependencies to be sure.
By the way, adding a Breaks: xfce4-mcs-manager in xfce4-settings doesn't
work either, apt will still prefer to hold xfce4-session and keep
xfce4-mcs-*.
