There's a reason it's recommended to install things from the
repositories only. Also, sometimes to make things work they apply
patches to code they receive from upstream. This is something that
some people criticize but that's how it is.

That said, all the bugs were reported to be related to the java used
and it's weird that you have it with both OpenJDK and Oracle's Java.
Also, how did you update ImageJ? If I try to update the ImageJ that
was installed from the repository I get "no write access to
/usr/share/java/". Did you run ImageJ with sudo?

I'm using the same version available for Ubuntu 11.04 (but on Debian)
but haven't updated it, since I haven't needed to.
