There are a bunch of differences between the termcap descriptions of xterm and these two. I think the xterm setting in termcap get you a vanilla ANSI-compatible setup, while rxvt is capable of VT102 (at least) emulation. Plus, it takes some special finagling to get the line drawing characters to work. A week or two back, someone here described how to set up rxvt-cygwin-native to do this.
