I can confirm this behavior happens in MacVim, which is surprising.
Perhaps we should report it as a bug to b4winckler.

X11 is available in OS X; it's just that relatively few users use it
often. I don't think you need to worry about +xterm_clipboard unless you
actually use a build of Vim that runs under X11. (I do recall that X11
for Mac has options for whether to synchronize the Mac clipboard with
either X11's PRIMARY or X11's CLIPBOARD, which would increase
complications.)

Nevertheless, the source for MacVim is at
https://github.com/b4winckler/macvim ; perhaps with the right configure
switches it can be made to use +xterm_clipboard.
