This is a problem with APFS (Apple File System), which is only supported on macOS High Sierra and only with SSDs. File systems using the Mac OS Extended (HFS+) format do not have the problem. Apple will probably fix this since it afflicts many Mac applications. In the meantime, the latest ImageJ daily build (1.51t22) works around this bug for LUTs listed in the Image>Lookup Tables menu and for file names returned by the getFileList() macro function.
