I can reproduce with your config, and urxvt is also extremely slow to redraw and to scroll, so I suspect that urxvt is just too slow with this config. tmux has to move the cursor in order to redraw the status line and if that takes too long, you will see the cursor flicker. There is no way around this, there is no mechanism to draw the status line without moving the cursor.
I would probably point the finger at XFT here rather than urxvt itself. Try using a bitmap font.
