Now that I look at the two photos more carefully, it seems to me that the stripe has not disappeared, but rather changed compositions. Any thoughts?

The evidence is that it is concealed by high level ammonia clouds: http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2010/06/hubble-finds-jupiters-missing-stripe/

Apparently, Jupiter lost one of its stripes.

Appears to be temporary though, since it happened before.
