Why doesn't this work? Does the Missing values have anything to do with it?

tell application "System Events"
set processlist to name of every process
set clipboard to "" & contents of processlist
display dialog "" & processlist
end tell

clipboard belongs to Standard Additions, not System Events.

Try this for comparison ...

set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {return}
tell application "System Events" to set processlist to (name of every process) as text
-- (name of every process) returns a list
set clipboard to processlist as text
display dialog processlist
