Did this happen once or can you reproduce it? It looks much like a Win installation issue of Java which we had several times already. Usually Java reinstallation helped.

This is java bug (it's in java 1.6 since update 19). As a workaround you can either use older java or open gpx files by dragging them from file explorer to JOSM.
