Yes that's another, even more important, grey area - enchanted items and 
spells on items or on non-magic people. If a pentagram blocks those things, 
then it's also important to decide if it stops them crossing, it it just 
stops the items crossing, or if it actually suppresses or dispels the magic 
as such things pass through. David's interpretation is simplest and 
easiest, but the wording of the spell description:

"The only thing it will NOT stop is a totally "natural" thing - such as a 
purely physical attack by a non-magical creature."

implies otherwise, to me anyway.
