No.  I do not have any idea at all.  There are no other reports like
this about problems with imagej.  I'm testing every package before I
upload it and never have observed a problem like this.  For sure that's
no reason - but I have just no idea what to try next.

Ubuntu is usually featuring the same packages as Debian (hopefully).
Trying under Ubuntu might be a reasonable idea.

Could you try sending this problem report to upstream ImageJ?
This would be probably more easy as if I would work as proxy
inbetween.  Please make sure you keep the bug report in CC.

Good luck
