I haven't noticed any new wallpapers (I too am running Debian 8.8 with 
XFCE and have my wallpaper set to one I like which I saved in 
~/Pictures/Wallpaper) I also had no problems with the wallpapers going 
away and also was able to change them in the settings. I do notice that 
they don't all *stay* listed in the settings (except the current one 
being used) if they are located somewhere other than the default 
wallpaper directory. But other than that, no problems here, so far.

I did update using apt-get dist-upgrade and not apt-get upgrade. Maybe 
that made a difference?
