Problem reading multi-image TIFF files

I'm trying to read some image stacks in TIFF format using
imread. The files are created by commercial deconvolution
software. I get the following error:
im=imread('1.stk','Index',3);
??? Error using ==> rtifc
Invalid TIFF image index specified.
Error in ==> readtif at 52
[X, map, details] = rtifc(args);
Error in ==> imread at 430
[X, map] = feval(fmt_s.read, filename, extraArgs{:});
However, the file opens fine with ImageJ, and if I save
it back to another file, the new file can then be read by
MATLAB.
Does this indicate that the original image stack file is
non-conformant to the TIFF standard, or could it be a
problem with MATLAB itself?
(At the moment, I am working round the problem by invoking
ImageJ in command line mode and getting it to run a macro
to 'convert' each image stack that needs to be read. This
is very slow and a horrible kludge.)
