Unfortunately, I've now managed to reproduce it :-(
See below....

I know; I too am a maintainer :/ I did lots of obvious things before
I reported it (purging and reinstalling xfce4-panel for example).

Yes, they both are.
What's even weirder is that I cleared the known applications using the
Notification Area preferences, and now they have both reappeared in
the list (image attached).
I have just purged the whole of xfce4 (that's every xfce4-related
package that I could find, and moved .config/xfce4 out of the way, so
it's entirely fresh) and reinstalled everything. While xfce4 was
purged, and I used the MATE desktop, safeeyes and bluetooth showed
perfectly in the notification area. But now that I've reinstalled
xfce4, these icons are once again not showing: I'm attaching a
screenshot of the whole screen.
And worse than that, something's now gone wrong with the theming as
well: menu titles now crash into each other, and the drop-down menus
are not meaningfully styled, as is visible in the screenshot of the
screen.
And reproducibility: I tried this on another machine: I purged the
whole of xfce4 etc., as described above, and I have ended up with the
same problems, both the icons not appearing in the notification area
and the menu titles crashing into each other.
I'm totally flummoxed.
Best wishes,
Julian
