Now you can over ride it and not have it clip, or have it clip for any mode.
It can't work like a true clipping mask, because it clips all visible pixels in all layers below it. It is very strange and not very useful. Clipping masks would be very useful in Gimp if someone would for a few minutes study PS.
Erase seems to be an (anti-)clipping mask, it makes transparent all pixels under its non-transparent pixels. If you put it in a group it only
applies to layers below it in the group. But Split has the same result... so why both?
