A tip from Joe Buehler helped me out. There's a section in emacs news, also
/usr/doc/emacs-21.2/NEWS, about a new user-option,
'normal-erase-is-backspace'.
Customizing 'normal-erase-is-backspace' to nil achieves the desired effect
in win32-mode rxvt (and does not affect X-Windowed emacs or emacs in X rxvt,
as far as I can tell).
kind regards
Peter Ring

In order to prevent ^H from being mistaken for DEL, try to include a
stty erase ^-
in your ~/.profile.
