Your experiment above shows that the problem is local to your Mac
machine. Now, I don't know much about Mac OS, but I suppose you need
version of Vim with +clipboard, +X11, and +xterm_clipboard, and you
might want to add something like this to your vimrc:
set clipboard=unnamedplus,autoselect
(it's probably safe to leave alone the linux console exception, since
you won't run into it on Mac). After that, you should be able to open
xclipboard, type something there, and than paste it in a local Vim. If
Vim can't paste the contents of the clipboard, the problem is incomplete
(or buggy) integration between your Vim and X11. I'm not sure what you
can do about that; as I understand there are several implementations of
Vim for Mac, perhaps try a different one.
