cutchars don't seem to support unicode

I'm confused about the " comment, I thought the leading and lagging quotes
tell urxvt to parse it as a string, and \" is the quote delimiter I'm using
inside, is that not how it works?

1. I am using .Xdefaults, and the following command to reload them (after
which I restart the terminal, I have tested with ascii cutchars, and they
get picked up):
xrdb -load ~/.Xdefaults
2. I copy-pasted the bar from tmux directly, and copy-pasted it again into
the browser, it appears the same in my terminal and here. I guess I can't
be sure if the clipboard preserved it, but wouldn't you then have the same
issue using these cutchars if you copied my string?
3. Do you mean like with the example in #5? It selects past the unicode
character for me, so double-clicking bar in this: "foo#bar☂baz#" selects
bar☂baz, but nothing else since # delimiter gets interpreted correctly
(likewise with the tmux bar)
4. Yep, my extensions are as follows:
URxvt.perl-ext-common:                 matcher,vtwheel,fullscreen
5. that selects abc│def with double-click and the whole line with
triple-click
6. Wouldn't I always have the entire line selected in this case?

In case this is a version issue, I should also mention that I'm using
rxvt-unicode with 256-color patch from Ubuntu 13.04 (via Mint) repo
(rxvt-unicode-256color verison 9.15-2):
