How can we proceed to solve the issue?
That comment is not really accurate. Urxvt requests the selection in UTF8_STRING format first. If the conversion fails, it fallbacks to COMPOUND_TEXT format and if also the second conversion fails it fallbacks to STRING format. There might be a bug though. Which urxvt version do you use?
