I tried writing till the bottom of a maximized xterm window, and indeed
there is a strip that doesn't get used, so you are right and
the strip is always there, but it may not be visible if the color is the
same as in the background. The resource is URxvt.borderColor. I didn't
have it in xterm, and so I missed the culprit.
Still, eliminating the border color makes an ugly non-maximized window.
It is a shame that the bottom border is so huge when the window is
maximized, but I suppose there's nothing to be done...

Thanks

Here is my (rather small) ~/.Xresources:

URxvt*font:             xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:style=Regular:pixelsize=13
URxvt*background:       #FFFED2
URxvt*foreground:       #000000
URxvt*color14:       #9405AB
URxvt*geometry:      75x22
URxvt.scrollBar_right:	True
URxvt.scrollstyle:	rxvt
URxvt.scrollBar_align:	centre
URxvt.troughColor:       #D3D4FF
