I have the same problem as the OP. I am on libreadline 7.0.3-3 - as far 
as I can see, the paste-from-clipboard command has become a no-op. 
I can verify that the data I want is in /dev/clipboard but nothing happens
in response to the paste-from-clipboard command. 

This keybinding used to work with an earlier version of libreadline.
