It's a magic item, so it's appropriate to have it as an ability. (Over time, Frodo could learn to move better in armor, trust it in certain situations, etc.)
One could "simulate" the scene by saying that Frodo's roll was over his target number when not augmented, but not over it when he augmented with the mithril shirt. Thus his armor saved him.
