rxvt is currently compiled to use XGetDefault().
XGetDefault() does indeed use values from ~/.Xdefaults, but only after
they are merged into the resource database.
This happens at session startup (as the original reporter apparently
discovered by accident), or you can run:
xrdb -merge ~/.XDefaults
after editing ~/.Xdefaults, to update the resource database.
On this basis, this issue is not really a bug, simply a decision made by
the packager. So this is Invalid : NotABug.
