:OK, I checked with xkeycaps and the keysym for my Meta key is Meta_L and
:the modifier is Mod1. I used the "rxvt -mod mod1" invocation you

See above. Do you also have Alt_L or Alt_R modifiers pointing to a
different mod? Hey, I should fix this :-) I had some weird memory of
doing so once, but guess not.
:IMO, similar to the backspace/delete key thing, this appears to be a
:case of rxvt trying to be too smart for its own good. It should use the
:same methods every other tool uses for these things; they may not be
:ideal but they are, at least, what everyone expects.
:Why is rxvt trying to do so much with this?
They emulate vt220 codes. But you can set them with resources
"backspacekey" and "deletekey" (unless you have not compiled handling
in, e.g. with --disable-backspace-key arg to configure).
