rxvt sets DISPLAY without X11

If rxvt is used from the login shell outside X11, without XWin running
and /tmp/.X11-unix/ empty, it nevertheless sets DISPLAY to ':0'.
This even happens if rxvt is started directly from a Windows shortcut:
C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -e /bin/bash --login
Does this have a special meaning or is it a bug?
