I have not defined HOME but I can confirm that rxvt is reading .Xdefault as I use it to define the window size, colors, font size... I have tried to add HOME in Windows env. var but it did not change anything (either with a DOS path or a Cygwin path). So there is something strange with this TERM thing and rxvt.
