Perhaps it has something to do with "windows update".
I found this issue on FreeRDP, which is a similar program to rdesktop.
I also found a similar issue reported on rdesktop.
Since you've already recompiled with "./bootstrap && configure  && make", I guess the bug has not been solved by the developers yet.

Hi polikuo
If you follow this link:

Skip down to the last 2 paragraphs above the  New Registry Properties  image. The author initially fixed it through the
control panel and then tracked down the effected registry key. Hampelmann91 already has a registry fix but wants a
fix that doesn't require editing the registry.

I know that, but I also state

Most RDP softwares share the same libraries, the problem may has already been dealt with.

But I get error "Retrying with plain RDP", Core(error): locale_to_utf16().....
It's to difficult for me to solve that problem.

In meantime I find out problem doesn't exist with other Windows server 2012 r2 (I don't know why).
So I will set up all connections in future to new server.

After recompiling, Hampelmann91 stated that he got another error, "Retrying with plain RDP"
He also says that not every server has the new error.
The only reason I could think of is the windows updates differences between the servers.

Anyway

Have you tried out Rich's solution yet ? (with the old working extension)
I found the illustrations to uncheck the Enable Pointer Shadow checkbox.
To enable desktop background, try appending "-x b" to your commands.
