I dont know the official rulings, but I wouldn't have a problem with it in my game.

02-09-06, 04:21 PM 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.
Moderate transmutation; CL 9th; Craft Magic Arms and Armor, baleful polymorph; Price +3 bonus.

Shapeshifting is not the same as wild shape. So it wouldn't work.

EDIT: As a houserule, I might allow the enhancement to work for a lycanthrope who changes into his/her full animal form but not if they change into their hybrid form.

02-10-06, 07:58 PM 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, except as noted here.

Alternate Form (Su): A lycanthrope can shift into animal form as though using the polymorph spell on itself, though its gear is not affected

Shapechange This spell functions like polymorph,

SRD's seem to all function the same.
