Yes. And many people who administrate systems such as those simply refuse
to use more up-to-date alternatives like "rxvt". In the interim, I've
downloaded the debian source rxvt package and compiled it in my home
directory on the Solaris machines I have to use sometimes, and use that
in place of the sun Xterm. The system administrators aren't interested in
installing it by default, it seems.

I agree. I wasn't concerned about the buginess, but just wanted to make
sure my system was behaving as it was to be expected to.
