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
