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 ~/.XDefa
Workaround: use rxvt-unicode instead of rxvt.
I'm looking at a patch to compile rxvt with .Xdefaults support.

As manual states it should read this file, and on my system it does not.
It does not read .Xresources and /etc/X11/app-defaults/Rxvt, neither.
