Change to unity-greeter & file a bug on lightdm-gtk-greeter. That is
what is causing your problem. I changed to mirror your lightdm.conf and
encountered the problem. Changed it back to:
$ cat /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

[SeatDefaults]
# user-session=gnome-classic
greeter-session=unity-greeter
# greeter-hide-users=true
# greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter
user-session=xubuntu
greeter-hide-users=true
allow-guest=false

and the problem goes away. Note: they split lightdm-gtk-greeter out from
lightdm awhile back, so who knows what they've done since...
