The actual scripture says, And Israel said unto Joseph, (Genesis 48:21) 'Behold, I die, but God shall be with you and bring you again and to the land of your father's.' This scripture does not say that Joseph is dying, but it is Joseph's father, Israel, who is dying. It is Israel who is speaking. What the passage states is that Joseph would be brought again to the land of his father's. Nowhere does it state that he was going to go there alive in terms of his residence (although Joseph did go up in order to bury Jacob). It is thus not contrary to the prophecy or in any way a failed prophecy.
What this passage indicates, with Joseph here speaking, is that Joseph knew he would die in Egypt, and that his bones should be carried up to Canaan and buried there.
24And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. 25And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence.The reference to Joseph's going up was thus a reference to his bones. Joseph certainly died in Egypt and this is what the statements clearly state when rightly understood.

Sometimes there are problems of understanding when Bible verses are not taken in their proper context.
In this case Exodus 33:2 mentions God's part in the conquest. In a number of other nearby verses it is clear that the fulfilment of God's promise is conditional upon obedience. The Israelites most certainly did not keep their part of the bargain and so, as God promised, they were thus not able to drive out the inhabitants of the land.
In relation to the specific mention of Jerusalem in Joshua 15:63:
63As for the Jebusites the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the children of Judah could not drive them out; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Judah at Jerusalem unto this day.The 'unto this day' obviously refers to the time of writing of the book of Joshua. For the later history of Israel records that King David did in fact drive out the Jebusite inhabitants of Jerusalem. Interestingly, in this regard, the conduit through which Joab climbed to enter the city secretly was assumed by the Jebusites to be unclimbable. This conduit has recently been discovered by archaeologists.
