Because this is a resource for mwm, not xterm.
Try 'mwm -xrm "Mwm*XTerm*iconImageBackground: blue"'
instead.

Since you want different colors for each of your xterms,
use something like the following:

  Mwm*one*iconImageBackground: red
  Mwm*two*iconImageBackground: yellow
  etc.

Then start each of your xterms with a different name:

  xterm -name one
  xterm -name two
