I had a similar problem in the past[*], where something in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm wasn't overridden by
my setting. Since then, I no longer use system-wide defaults.
My .xinitrc now contains:
XAPPLRESDIR=$HOME/.app-defaults
export XAPPLRESDIR
XFILESEARCHPATH=$XAPPLRESDIR
export XFILESEARCHPATH
