I am just guessing here, but I might be right (You may check with rxvt
source code and/or 'man rxvt', I no time and don't use it).
Without '-e bash', rxvt calls the much simpler, scaled-down 'ash' which
is not able to understand more advanced terminal control escape
sequences but bash is. And see to it that '- e bash' is always the last
on command line (if you give rxvt other options, that's how xterm
behaves I guess rxvt follows that too)
Glad it helps,
Greg

Thank you very much, Gregory!
What is different about a -e that turns on the escape-code
recognition?
What about trying?:
rxvt -e bash
