When I attempt to load your striped.tiff file, I see this error message from libtiff:
"Compression algorithm does not support random access."
so it seems that libtiff itself does not want to read this file. There must be some limitation related to the PackBits compression.
The tiffcp from recent libtiff reports:
% tiffcp -t -w 256 -l 256 -p separate striped.tiff tiled.tiff striped.tiff: Compression algorithm does not support random access.
striped.tiff: Error, can't read scanline 1.

Let me please explain what I am trying to accomplish:
As Input, we have a Striped TIFF (Photometric Interpretation: separated and Planar Configuration: separate image planes, where each strip below represents one plane of the CMYK) with the following characteristics:
And what we would like to achieve is a tiled TIFF using the above input TIFF.
Can someone please tell me if the libtiff (or any of its tools) are capable of doing this type of "conversion"? And if so, using which call/tool?
While I know that development GraphicsMagick 1.2 can deal with your file, have you tried libtiff's 'tiffcp' program? It is intended for these tasks. Since your image is fairly large, make sure that your system has plenty of RAM available.
Do you want the output file to be RGBA tiled only (consecutive samples), or planar+tiled?
