It seems like I have them:

/usr/share/terminfo/r/rxvt-256color
/usr/share/terminfo/r/rxvt-unicode-256color
...

I have just tried:

export TERM=rxvt-256color # same problem
export TERM=rxvt-color    # same problem

Only TERM=xterm* works.

I have tested with:

emacs-26.0.90$ ./lib-src/emacsclient -a emacs -nw
