I also observe the above behavior but only occasionly, usually the
cutting and pasting from rxvt to a native app works fine. When the
problem occurs, I just past into another rxvt window and then cut and
paste from there. This seems to be a known problem that is discussed in
one of Bub's readme files.

I use constructs like the following in my shortcuts to start up rxvt windows:
C:\Cygwin\usr\local\bin\run.exe rxvt -sl 512 -sr -fn courier -title kosh -e bash --login
You can get run from CygUtils:
