I had a similar issue with Capture One importing 16-bit tiff images from hugin (panorama sticher). Here are my notes to fix that. (both below commands, identify and convert, are from imagemagick: http://www.imagemagick.org )
To import panorama tiff outputs from Hugin (2014.0.0) back into Phase One Capture One Pro 8, You need to remove the one-bit alpha-channel added by Hugin: To see the alpha-channel: 'identify -verbose <hugin-pano.tif>' To remove the alpha-channel: 'convert <hugin_pano.tif> -alpha off <no_alpha_pano.tif>'
