As Tomas mentioned in another reply, it seems like something is
munging your cut buffer between selection and pasting.  It could be
XFCE; urxvt also has its own collection of plugin Perl scripts that
can act on the selection.  Try running urxvt with plugins disabled:

  urxvt -xrm 'URxvt*perl-ext-common: ' -xrm 'URxvt*perl-ext: '

Perhaps.  Have you tried opening another urxvt window and pasting into
that to see if the problem continues?
