well duh - of course it's not!...
mingw (-mno-cygwin) applications running in rxvt do not recognize it as a console (which, I guess, it is not) and lack line editing &c.
Besides, I am getting an error on tcflush() when running a cygwin application in it.
Before I switch back to bash/w32-console, just to make sure: am I missing something obvious?
Have you tried rxvt -C?
