The longer time exposures does alow this to happen and I clean the filter prior to every shot and it still happens. The sun is unpredictable since you cannot see it until after the shot has been taken, but sometimes it gives a great effect also, but that is rare.
The spot is a photo of your lens iris -- so it's not dust. Most likely flare caused by a reflection off of the water.
