I've been looking into this a bit.

As some have observed, it happens when the gvfsd-trash daemon has not
spawned and thunar accesses the trash for the first time (yet causing it
to spawn). So for the trash bin having the correct state it is necessary
that the daemon has already spawned when reading the info. The gvfs-
trash ls command or any other application accessing the gvfs trash does
this.

To reproduce this more easily, simply kill thunar and gvfsd-trash and
start a new instance of thunar (daemon or window shouldn't matter).

The code added to thunar-session-client.c could work, but it never gets
called on my machine, presumably because I do not start thunar with the
session manager. If that is true, all people with a similar setup will
suffer from this too. Also the thunar trash panel plugin could exhibit
the same problem.
