Same with me. If I start ImageJ from a console window, I get the following error
messages:
java.lang.NegativeArraySizeException
         at ij.plugin.DicomDecoder.getString(DICOM.java:249)
         at ij.plugin.DicomDecoder.getHeaderInfo(DICOM.java:664)

It seems like ImageJ tries to open the file as DICOM?
