Reason for closing: Not a bug
Additional comments about closing: Slightly unintuitive wallpaper folder selection. Also, loss of wallpaper settings right after upgrading to 4.13 is possible.

xfdesktop 4.13.3 stores wallpaper setting in accountsservice now. I don't see it listed as direct dependency.
@Jamp: Try going to "Settings -> Settings Editor", right-click on the "xfce4-desktop" channel and select "Reset". Then set a new background and see if it persists or not.
Edit..
If reset the xfce4-desktop channel and then I change manually the last-image of the workspace 0 to the path of my wallpaper, then my wallpaper is displayed AND I am able to choose others from the same path (they are displayed directly as thumbnails) but it remains impossible to choose other files from other paths.
Assuming the wallpaper you've selected sticks, I'm closing this ticket.
