A closer look at Process Explorer revealed the cause of the problem:

rxvt.exe	3732		8	444,184 K	4,740 K	6,332
K	me	1,630	C:\cygwin17\bin\rxvt.exe --geometry 170x60+0+0 -e ssh -Y
lab1
 rxvt.exe	5276		8	431,304 K	3,628 K	3,940 K	me	1,023	C:\cygwin17\bin\rxvt.exe
  ssh.exe	8640		8	449,540 K	3,704 K	6,224
K	me	1,807	C:\cygwin\bin\ssh.exe -Y lab1

It was running the ssh from Cygwin 1.5 !
It is true that c:\cygwin\bin is in the Windows path although I don't
understand why rxvt didn't pick its own ssh. I assume rxvt wasn't
started in C:\cygwin17\bin (the shortcut launched
C:\cygwin17\bin\run.exe in C:\cygwin17)

The easy fix is to make sure rxvt launches its own ssh by supplying an
absolute path:
Target: C:\cygwin17\bin\run.exe rxvt --geometry 170x60+0+0 -e
/usr/bin/ssh -Y lab1
