I recently discovered that Lubuntu 14.04 does not "respect" those
folders.

Why ? I cannot think why, a reason, a package or a service that could
be responsible for such behavior.

Any ".desktop" file located in those folders disregarded/ignored.

The only valid way to add a startup application is through
"~/.config/lxsession/Lubuntu" file.

which in graphical session is

Start Menu → Preferences → Default applications for LXSession →
AutoStart.

Any ideas on this ?

Reproduce-1:

Install dropbox application. By default dropox application will add a
".desktop" file inside "~/.config/autostart/" folder. The box "Start
dropox in system startup" is checked by default, but the dropbox
application does not start at all. Only if you add the start command
"/usr/bin/dropbox start -i" in "~/.config/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart"
file it will start correctly.

Reproduce-2:

xfce4-power-manager.desktop file by default is located inside
/etc/xdg/autostart/ folder. But xfce power manager does not start in
startup.

Only if you add the start command in
~/.config/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart will start the xfce power
manager correctly.
