rxvt-unicode doesn't use terminfo, nor termcap. your shell (e.g.
bash) uses termcap, because whoever provided it (i.e. your gnu/linux
distribution) linked it against the obsolete termcap libraries.
it simply shouldn't do so and use terminfo, like anything else. or the
distro should properly update the termcap file.
this is a recurring issue with at least fedora. debian gnu/linux doesn't have
this issue for example.
