You are probably not doing anything wrong. The way
the sky sphere is implemented in pov is in a virtual
way. Think of it as a multi colored fog that exsists
everywhere a solid object doesn't. The way media is
implemented I suspect (and I'm guessing here) is that
the program is getting confused by the two similar yet
different functions and the media is winning the war.
I applaud yuor cure to the problem as it was what I
was going to suggest after reading your second post.
Fortunatly I decided to read this one first.

For a great tutorial on applying cloud textures to
planes and spheres take a look at:

Very well done tutorial with images and source code
available to learn from.
