Does it help if you redirect stdin from /dev/null? I.e.
bind-key -n C-y run "exec </dev/null ; xclip -o | tmux load-buffer
- ; tmux paste-buffer"
It seems unlikely that "xclip -o" should be reading from stdin, but
run-shell (and if-shell) processes do get a different kind of stdin in
1.8. Also, a bug I introduced in 1.8 leaves run-shell (and if-shell)
proceses with an open, but non-responsive stdin (previously it was
always /dev/null).
If that works and you are comfortable building tmux form source, then
you might also try using your original command (no /dev/null redirect)
with a build from the SourceForge master branch; it has a fix that
should prevent the non-responsive stdin problem for run-shell (and
if-shell) processes.
If none of that helps, you might try temporarily capturing stderr (it
is usually /dev/null) to see if there are any useful error messages to
go with the 127 exit:
bind-key -n C-y run "exec 2>&1 ; xclip -o | tmux load-buffer - ;
tmux paste-buffer"
