=============

got it!! i'm not sure why, but for some reason i had:
        Mrxvt.acsChars: true
in my ~/.mrxvtrc which hosed it.

there's still an issue that if i double-click (select word) the selection 
doesn't stop at the border between normal and alternate characters. if you 
look at my prompt in the screenshots, you'll see where it would be useful 
to select the PWD from the prompt... in xterm i can double click the PWD 
part of my prompt and it automagically doesn't select the alternate 
characters. what i'd *really* like to do, is enable mrxvt to only select 
up to a NULL character... then i could just put null-chars anyplace where 
i want a selection to end (in my PS1, i would put a NULL before and after 
the PWD).

here's a case that xterm, IMHO, still deals with more gracefully than 
mrxvt:
        print '\033(0qqq\033(1foobar\033(0qqq\e(B'
        # on your system /bin/echo might work better than my print

that outputs, after conversion from alternate->normal characters:
        ---foobar---

in mrxvt if you select the word "foobar" it selects the lines adjacent to 
it, too. in xterm, if you select the word "foobar" it ONLY selects the 
word "foobar".
