Setting LANG in .profile is too late for bash itself, because that will continue to operate in C.UTF-8. That will cause trouble when entering non-ASCII characters on the command line, for example, try typing an ä or â. Therefore you need to set it before bash is invoked, for example in cygwin.bat if that's where you're invoking rxvt from.
