This usually happens if you do not have a terminfo entry for your
terminal, so readline (or another similar library) uses it like a dumb
terminal.  Try to set TERM=vt100 or TERM=rxvt and start a shell that
way to test whether this is the case, and try to install the terminfo
file for urxvt (whether globally on the system or for just your user)
in the long run.

The reason could be something else, like a program (your shell)
compiled with incorrect options, but it's very likely not a bug in
urxvt in any case.
