On Fox News during Cavuto's repeat show last night, they had a very clear video of the insulation/ice falling off of the tank and hitting the wing. At the end of the video when the plume sprays out, you can very clearly see that the original "chunk" also comes out from under the wing.
The plume appears to be tile dust to me, too, but I'm basing it on the fact that I saw the chunk come out from under the wing, pretty much the same size/shape it went in, not the color of the plume (looking at the color was a very good idea, though).
(Now, I was viewing this video at midnight, so it may just be my eyes...)

I think I see the chunk in this series of stills, as well.
Debris Stills
In the last two frames, I can see the "chunk" (when the plume sprays out) come out from under the wing, and pass in front of the SRB (down toward the bottom of the SRB, near the small orange bit showing).
Does anyone else see this?
