Setting it to the correct value of "rxvt-unicode" would help most.

You would set it to rxvt-unicode only inside rxvt-unicode obviously. Best
would be to not set it at all, as terminal emulators usually manage to set
it correctly.

Well, consider this: your workaround does more or less the same as setting
TERM to rxvt, which is close to the correct value. So doing it properly
would not just work with emacs, but also other full-screen programs.
tmux doesn't know what TERM value you use inside it (and maybe it doesn't
care at all).

Well, if you run rxvt.el chances are it will malfunction in other
terminals.
But hey, it's your life :)
