Try using File > Import > Bio-Formats to open your data. Or if you wish to
drag and drop, run Plugins > LOCI > LOCI Shortcuts Window and drop the
files onto that. Otherwise, dragging and dropping will not use Bio-Formats
to open your data, so you will not receive the option to split channels
during import.

P.S. I CCed the ImageJ mailing list, since I think you meant to write your
mail there?
