To me it does sound like the coating on the skylight filter interfering with the way the sensor sees things, but it's damn easy to rule it out
Hell no! Essentially a digital SLR is no different to a film SLR in this respect. As the mirror flips up out of the way, the shutter (behind it) opens and closes, the mirror returns to it's normal position. If you remove the lens and fire the camera with a longish shutter speed you'll see all this happening if you look through the lens opening.
