I'm a Gentoo user, but I can confirm that it also "just works" for me 
with scrotwm 0.9.25 and tabbed 0.3.

$ tabbed -d
12345
$ urxvt -embed 12345&
$ urxvt -embed 12345&

That's using rxvt-unicode 9.07, with the 256-color patch (not because I 
*need* 256 colors -- only because I want things that expect 256 colors 
to "just work") and with ISO-14755 support disabled (because Ctrl+Shift 
is way too easy to hit accidentally when shortcut keys include 
Ctrl+Shift+ and my shell [Zsh] and editor [Vim] let me enter Unicode in 
other ways anyway).  [Sorry, the Gentoo question put me on the 
defensive, even with the smiley.]
