I see what you mean. I did a yum clean all on my working image, and there it was!
So I wiped the image by laying down the minimal again. Did firstboot and yum update and then tried
yum groupinstall xfce
And it was not there.
Did a yum clean all and yum group list and now no xfce
:(
So I will check back later
I'm seeing it ATM
I think it has not gone to all the mirrors:

How do I force the mirror to what you are using?
There are no mirrors for epel/armhfp, but either way, I don't see epel in your message ;-)
Oops!
I added epel and did a 'yum groupinstall xfce'. Poweroff and reboot.
I see the message: "Starting GNOME Display Manager" and "Started Login Service".
I am logged in as root on the serial console, but..
The kybd/mous/monitor console is just sitting there, still in text mode and not responding.
Can't see anything like a desktop process running. How do I check what is going on, or what is missing?
From the 'yum groupinstall xfce':

followed by many dependencies, but this list does not seem to be enough. I THINK there is suppose to be an invoking of the X11 DE as part of the install?
