*ist-Ds Vs. K10D image quality?

[Jens Bladt]

Nooooo
I've done this right a 1000 times. And the strategy for a (too) bright sky
sky IS the same as for a backlit scenry.
And - so why does the *ist D do the exact scenery right (not over
compensating)?

It soulds to me like the metering is compensating the sky as if it was a
backlit scene (overexposing to ensure sufficient exposure to the subject).
This is what we call subject failure in the industry.
I think you will find the meter is behaving normally, and that you will need
to adjust your metering strategy for this scene type.
