One thing that does work, in Keyboard > Application Shortcuts set xfce4-popup-whiskermenu to Alt+F1 then your super key will still open Whisker but only on a quick release, it will not open if you hold it down which allows you to assign other shortcuts to it. See this thread for more information, there may be one additional step you have to take if it doesn't immediately work for you.
I have whisker set to open on Ctrl+Space because that is what I got used to using when I was a Windows user and using Launchy. But I hear you, there should be a better way to set it to on release, and there has been a lot of discussion over it. It looks like there are a couple patches for libxfce4ui available that do set it to on release but I have not used them.
I'm glad there's discussion for it at least. This is a really annoying thing for me. Otherwise it pretty much nails most things for me. I have some other small issues, but those don't prevent swapping over to it. But right now it competes with dash-to-panel extension on Gnome for me, and Gnome is winning there. But once XFCE does have that, it's nice jumping to it for consistently, since you know your work flow won't change even from a year from now.
