Removing the item and using only a hand will open the chest.
This happens sporadically, three times in the last 2 days. logging out and in again resolves the issue. Crash log attached

Your Java version is out of date. Please update your Java to the latest version: http://www.java.com/en/download/. Keep in mind that when using a 32-bit browser on a 64-bit OS the automatic version detection will only show the 32-bit version of Java, the 64-bit version needs to be downloaded manually: http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp.
Please report if the issue persists with the latest Java version.
