OK, I've now removed the /usr/lib/X11 link as per the notes and then ran
setup to reinstall everything that I had installed in the x11 section of
setup, plus rxvt. It re-created a /usr/lib/X11 directory containing just
Xcms.txt and nothing else, so rxvt was still missing its resources. I then
tried uninstalling and re-installing rxvt which changed nothing.

There are a dozen files still in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 which /usr/lib/X11 used
to link to, including the missing app-defaults. I can (will) copy that over
but should I be doing that? Should I copy all/some of the other files over
too? There's nothing in the release notes about needing to do all this.
