To throw this in the mix.
What happens when a wildshaped druid with wild armor meets a cleric with true sight up? The armor clearly is there and will be targettable
The text is clear, normally when you shapechange your magical equipment is absorbed into your normal form and its properties supressed. The exception to this is if the new form can still wear that item. In that case the item is NOT absorbed, but worn by the new form.
Wild is an ability which allows magical armor and shields to give their ARMOR and ENHANCEMENT bonuses even while absorbed; note that shield bonuses ARE NOT MENTIONED.
Nowhere is anything said in any RAW, about the above Armor check, max dex. All that the text states is that the armor becomes "nonfunctional", an undefined term that can be quite liberally interpreted.

From SRD:
"Wild Shape (Su): At 5th level, a druid gains the ability to turn herself into any Small or Medium animal and back again once per day. Her options for new forms include all creatures with the animal type. This ability functions like the polymorph spell"
"Polymorph: This spell functions like alter self, except that you change the willing subject into another form of living creature. The new form may be of the same type as the subject or any of the following types: aberration, animal, dragon, fey, giant, humanoid, magical beast, monstrous humanoid, ooze, plant, or vermin. "
"Alter Self:When the change occurs, your equipment, if any, either remains worn or held by the new form (if it is capable of wearing or holding the item), or melds into the new form and becomes nonfunctional. When you revert to your true form, any objects previously melded into the new form reappear in the same location on your body they previously occupied and are once again functional."
"Wild: The wearer of a suit of armor or a shield with this ability preserves his armor bonus (and any enhancement bonus) while in a wild shape. Armor and shields with this ability usually appear to be made covered in leaf patterns. While the wearer is in a wild shape, the armor cannot be seen."
