Again, DISPLAY not set?  But your alternative will leave you with a

I have to admit that adding the line
   set DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
before ssh -Y remote_computer_name mathematica
solved the problem of the superfluous rxvterm (Thanks!).

However, why then does the man page for ssh admonish users against setting the
DISPLAY variable manually?

You should not set the DISPLAY variable manually on the _remote_ system.
