Turns out this *is* systemd-logind and xfce4-power-manager fighting over the lid close event.

It can be solved with:

echo "HandleLidSwitch=ignore" | sudo tee -a /etc/systemd/logind.conf
echo "HandleLidSwitchExternalPower=ignore" | sudo tee -a /etc/systemd/logind.conf

If you're doing this change from a TTY console whilst the GUI session has gone dark, then simply:

$ sudo systemctl restart lightdm
