I had the same behavior on High Sierra. Pasting into Terminal (after cat <<___ so I wouldn't be executing unexpected commands) while J was locked up locked up Terminal, also.
Forcibly shutting down J worked, and terminal ended with the paste being interrupted. Pasting after that showed an innocuous two line clipboard text (though not one that I remembered copying to the clipboard). Something seems deeply wrong here, but I'm not at all sure it's J that's the problem.
