Good question
Incorporeal creatures can move through solid objects. So, do solid objects give cover against an incorporeal touch attack?
Man, good question.
The obvious answer is "no, solid objects do not give cover against a creature that can move through solid objects." But I can't think of a specific rule that agrees or disagrees with that answer.
If I was DMing I guess I'd convert the cover to concealment. Or just make sure that the incorporeal thing 5-foot stepped through the cover, then attacked.
DM: A wraith suddenly passes through the wall, entering the room.
PC: I overturn the table between me and the wraith, thereby giving myself a cover bonus against its attacks!
DM: Uh... you did hear me describe how the wraith moved *through* the wall, right? That table isn't doing
