Rsync will cheerfully include any and all files in its actions;
it doesn't care whether they start with a dot or not. No need to
--include it. They are in no way "hidden", except for the fact that they
are not shown with ls by default or included in * (i.e. it's a userspace
issue, it's not done by the kernel).
What does it say if you explicitly rsync just the .htaccess file?
Use multiple -v options and -i .
Something like
rsync -a -vvvvv -i path/to/.htaccess appprod::test/path/to/.htaccess
