Because urxvt is configured with:

                 --disable-perl \

and perl is required for tabbed stuff to work. The reason cygwin's urxvt 
is compiled that way is to vaoid the 10MB dependency on perl just to 
install urxvt, for a feature most people will not use.

You can easily download the source archive, remove the offending 
configure option above from the handy .cygport script, and rebuild it...

$ cygport rxvt-unicode-X-7.7-6.cygport all
