Cloudy/Milky Haze from Water-Based Polyurethane?

I'm not completely sure about satin poly, but I do know that the flat poly I used says right on the can that it should not be used on very dark colours. I made a mdf display case for my daughter last year and finished it black as she wanted it flat to be non-reflective. It turned out as you describe - what I would call a light blue haze. I ended up sanding it and refinishing it in either satin or semi-gloss. It was still there but not as noticeable and I told here that was the best I could do.

What does can or manufacturer's website say about using with dark colours?
