The biggest obvious flaw in doing this is that your custom local version will be overwritten the next time the xfce4-terminal package is updated. It would be better to put your custom local version in /usr/local/bin instead. This should be before /usr/bin in the PATH variable, so your local version will be preferred by anything that doesn't use an explicit path. That said, I'm not an XFCE user, so I don't know how XFCE launches the terminal. If there are pieces of XFCE that use "/usr/bin/xfce4-terminal" instead of "xfce4-terminal" to run the terminal, then that will cause an issue.
