It's a bug: When you're making a map area, you have to assign a "Lockpick Value" to every locked door or chest. In this case, BioWare goofed and assigned that chest a Lockpick Value that is less than zero, meaning the only way you can pick it is (theoretically) drinking enough Potions to send your Lockpick score above 255.

But don't fret. Casting Knock on it will open it--which is also the case for a certain chest in Renal's Guildhall after siding with Bodhi, which suffers from the exact same bug.

And yes, I've informed le Kevin aux BaldurDash about the matter.
