So, back to the original question...
I completely missed Invulnerability in the DMG, which grants a suit of armor DR 5/magic for a +3 bonus cost. The more I think about it, the more it makes sense -- DR 5/silver or magic should actually be cheaper than +3, as it is easier to cause full damage than DR 5/magic alone. Where DR 5/silver and magic makes it roughly twice as hard to get full damage. I'm thinking that DR 5/silver or magic should either be a +2 bonus cost, or grant a fixed discount (possibly only 1000 gp). And DR 5/silver and magic should obviously count as a +6 bonus because you have to have both.
The numbers still don't exactly work out still, but it isn't quite as broken as I had assumed. Thanks for the help!
