[magick-users] ImageMagick 6.4.1.8 TIFF: unknown field

I cannot say for sure what might have changed, but you can try

convert /home/y/test.tif -resize 400x400 -quality 80 /home/y/tn/test.jpg

as that is the proper syntax for convert to put the input image 
before the parameters (in most cases)

This may or may not help if the problem is with an IM change.
