I'm no expert on this but I would say the clouds are just diffusing the light enough to allow the camera to expose the shot OK where the clouds are.
The light is not as bright where the cloud cover is. Look close you can see where the cloud is only showing in it's center thickest spots. The edges of the clouds are not exposing.

For those can't seem to find the pics. Here's one with the "black object"

And here's a normal one...




Now let me give you my 2 cents. As an avid astrophotographer, which includes taking many pictures of the sun with a digital camera, as well as a web camera, the first picture is nothing more than the sun "burning out" the ccd censor in the camera. Nothing more, nothing less.

C'mon people, think or do a little research before jumping to conclusions.

Cheers
