In the meantime a found this solution with the xstack filter:

c:\ffmpeg\ffmpeg -ss 5 -i P1000099.mov -f lavfi -i haldclutsrc=8 
-filter_complex 
"[1]format=pix_fmts=rgb48be[a];[a][0]xstack=inputs=2:layout=0_0|w0_0" 
-frames 1 -y Image_with_CLUT.png

It's not an overlay but a horizontal stack, but that doesn't care. It's 
only important that I have the clut and the picture combined in one 
16-bit picture, so that they can be processed simultaneously. By the way 
xstack is much better than hstack because it accepts pictures of 
different height. Problem solved!

Thanks,
