Sorry, I'm slightly confused here. The bugreport talks about the
'--replace' option not working, but there's never been such an option
in E17. Was that meant to be a feature request for the software?

All things considered, it looks like what you're looking for is
actually a way to tell xfce to use e17 as a file manager instead of
xfwm. I don't know XFCE very well, but isn't it possible to disable
xfwm and use the regular applications autostart mechanism to start
e17?
