It works for me on MacOS.  e.g. putting the code below into a file 
capture.jl, then running
      julia capture.jl
I can then type e.g. display("foo") and "foo" gets included in the text 
copied to the clipboard.

#####################################################
const orig_STDOUT = STDOUT
rdstdout, wrstdout = redirect_stdout()
pushdisplay(TextDisplay(STDOUT))

while true
    try
        result = eval(Base.parse_input_line(STDIN))
        println("RESULT = ", result)
    catch e
        print("EXCEPTION = ")
        Base.showerror(STDOUT, e)
    end
    s = readavailable(rdstdout)
    clipboard(s)
    print(orig_STDOUT, s)
end
