I've found some interesting entries in bash-4.0/CHANGES
Between bash 3.2 and 4.0 - changes to readline:

(this might be related to ctrl-c not working anymore, so it's a
readline issue?)

and

Between bash-2.04-alpha1 and bash-2.04-beta1 (now that's a long
time ago...)

The problem(s) seem to be known in a way - and it seems
bash-hackers think they are fixed. They probably didn't test their
fixes with urxvt (and it's different SIGWINCH behaviour)?

I think it's time to move the whole thing to the bash-bug
mailinglist. Although the problem(s) manifest in urxvt, these are
actually bash-issues.
