I don't have the error, but this probably means urxvt is starting up
the shell before it has the window open and is ready to display.

You could try something like

    precmd() { [[ -t 0 && -w 0 ]] && print -Pn '\e]2;%~\a' }

but that may not help.

} Also, since print is builtin, I wasn't able to silence the error anyway.

You can redirect internal errors from builtins by using braces:

    precmd() { { print -Pn '\e]2;%~\a' } 2>/dev/null }
