I was right, the issue of KF5 systrays moving to the XFCE panel on Mac was due 
to Knotifications. The platform plugin just attempts to make every Qt 
application use the KNotifications wrapper around QSystemTrayIcon and is thus 
not the real culprit.
I've written a prototype fix (forcing legacy mode on platforms where that mode 
should be preferred) which I'll present in due time via the appropriate channel.
