It seems that it was a limitation of the fixed font that I had defined for
aterm in .Xresources:
aterm*font:-*-fixed-*-*-*-*-20-*-100-*-*-*-*-*
Setting a different font and using xft seems to overcome this problem:
/usr/bin/urxvt -pe tabbed -fn "x:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:pixelsize=15"
No idea why aterm copes with fixed font and urxvt does not ...
