Is there a reason you cannot use ImageJ's built-in TIFF support?

This sounds like a bug in the ImageIO TIFF reader.

Solving this problem would most likely require some debugging and
experimentation. I would be willing to look into it if you can provide
me access to the TIFF file(s) causing you difficulty.
