Well i came up with a ridiculous idea, and it works!

I was uncomfortable using $TERM=rxvt, so i was looking at better
solutions.

It was also clear that this problem was affecting only vim. Somewhere i
read to set t_Co=256 in vimrc, but that didn't help. What i did instead
was to set t_Co=8 and now everything works perfect with $TERM=rxvt-unicode-256color.

I don't use 256 colours anyway, so it's not a bother at all.

Thanks to everyone for help.
