Hi, Baron d'Merde :)
Keep in mind that urxvt faithfully executes commands sent to it, so this
prompt is likely correct, in the sense of displaying what the application
printing the prompt told it to display.
One thing to look into is whether the program you use to generate those
commands uses the correct terminal database - most programs use terminfo
these days, but some distributions force programs back to termcap (e.g.
redhat did that for bash), which uses a different database (/etc/termcap).
If that isn't the issue, then you have to find what generates your prompt
and fix it, which might not be aneasy task.

I don't think tcsh prints coloured prompts, so likely whatever generates
the prompt is something else, and this would explain the difference
between bash and tcsh - they simply execute different prompt-generating
commands.

Minimization (or hiding) shouldn't really do anything to urxvt or the
program running inside, so you might want to find out what your window
manager does instead when you want it to minimize.
For example, maybe your window manager resizes urxvt to some tiny size
which isn't long enough for the prompt. This could cause this problem.
While programs can adapt to size changes, it's quite possible that
whatever generates the prompt isn't so intelligent and simply gets
confused. It's also quite hard to get right in programs that aren't
full-screen, as resizes are asynchronous.
If that's the case, telling your window manager not to do unnecessary
resizes might be a workaround for your problem as well.

Yes, this is unlikely to be an issue in urxvt, it's almost certainly
simply interpreting the commands it gets.
