Did you update the terminfo database on the remote machine? The
rxvt-unicode and rxvt-unicode256 entries have changed, and the (default)
rxvt-unicode-256colors entry is brand new.

copy /usr/share/doc/rxvt-unicode/terminfo/rxvt-unicode.terminfo from
your cygwin box over to the remote machine, and on that machine run:

tic rxvt-unicode.terminfo

Now, you have to be root to do that. If not, then you should create your
own local terminfo db, by setting

export TERMINFO=~/.terminfo (or something)
then run
tic rxvt-unicode.terminfo

You might also want to populate your personal terminfo db on the remote
machien with a copy of the current contents of the remote's global
terminfo db first.
