(Get the code!)
For me, it only multiplies the clipping path - which I expected, as the items were not grouped (in your picture: text is a group, the rectangle is separate), and consequently the clipping needed to be applied to every single object individually.
Selected objects are not grouped automatically for clipping.
When you select a single clipped object, you will only get a single clipping path when you release it.
To get what you want, group the objects first and apply your clip path to the group.
Also see manual:

"New in v0.48: By default, Inkscape will clip or mask each object separately if several objects are selected. In the Clippaths and masks section of the Inkscape Preferences dialog you can change this to have Inkscape first group the objects before applying a single clip or mask. "
