Because the bordless option will fallback to override_redirect if it
can't set the MWM hints on that window.  This has to be something your
window manager can handle (clients with MWM hints that is) -- which
seemingly in this case, it can't as urxvt is then setting
override_redirect.

This does seem counter-intuitive to me, falling back to such a harsh
"default" -- I fail to see how not being able to set MWM-hints on the
client window should then render the window outside of the window
manager's control in this way.  Most other window managers would allow
you to remove their parent window's border, a la FVWM:

Style foo !Borders

Of course, in this case, FVWM would already honour the MWM-hints
anyway, but that's besides the point.
