I am unable to reproduce this problem. I get

   run("Results... ", "open=/Users/wayne/Results.txt");

when I record File>Import>Results in ImageJ 1.44d. One work around would be to save tables using an ".xls" (tab-delimited text) or .csv (comma separated values) extension, in which case the open() function will open the file in the Results table. You can make either of these extensions the default in the Edit>Options>Input/Output dialog box.
