Does this also happen in other terminals based on vte? Can you try a vte3-based xfce4-terminal version (0.6.92 or git)?
Hi, I've also submitted this problem to the debian buglist. It also happens with other libvte terminals - e.g. lxterminal.
I can see that lxterminal is based on vte and gtk2 in Debian (https://packages.debian.org/jessie/lxterminal). If the case is that the issue you're seeing is vte's one, then it could very unlikely be resolved as vte support has been dropped in favor of vte3. So I would recommend you switching to a vte3-based terminal: Debian has xfce4-terminal 0.6.92 in its experimental repo.
Sofar that looks like it fixes the problem. Unfortuantely it is with this version hard to see which tab is selected and also activity in a tab is no longer visible in the tab-header.

As for distinguishing active tab, there are many recipes on the Internet: google for "gnome-terminal active tab". Or just switch to another gtk3 theme - for example, in Adwaita active tab is marked with a blue line. Tab activity indication does indeed seem broken, and I will look into it. But this is another issue, and I'm closing this one as fixed.
Tab activity has been fixed by https://git.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-terminal/commit/?id=971c86c5664d3db498552987595839c3fc89fca0
