In case anyone else runs across this issue, I think we've found a work-around.
We're seeing the same behavior with Solr 4.6.0 and 4.7. DataInputHandler loads documents, but the updates to the replica fail because of the limited support for the BigDecimal type in SolrCloud. We've successfully worked around the issue by setting convertType=true in the DIH config. This tells DIH to convert the BigDecimal to the supported Solr type (float, double, etc) defined in your schema.xml for the field before submitting to Solr. In my opinion, this is more of a issue with DIH, than SolrCloud. DIH shouldn't try to submit the BigDecimal type, if its not well supported by Solr. SolrCloud should try to support BigDecimal, but that suggestion has been pending for a while. Hope this helps.
