I am just guessing here, but I might be right (You may check with rxvt 
source code and/or 'man rxvt', I no time and don't use it).

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
