My first guess would be a bug in xmonad, urxvt, or even your video driver.

1) If you use ssh X forwarding to run urxvt on the affected host (so,
from a machine running xmonad, but not the machine with the problem,
"ssh -x host_with_problem urxvt"), do you see the same artifact?

2) Do the versions of xmonad and urxvt on your various systems differ?
Can you upgrade or downgrade xmonad and/or urxvt on the affected
system to match the other systems? Does doing so resolve the problem?

3) Does the affected system use a different video driver than the
unaffected systems? If it uses the same video driver, is it using a
different version? (And if it uses the same video driver, but
different versions, does switching to a video driver version matching
an unaffected system solve the problem?)
