"I mean, you say it'd happen because you "imagine the robes being enchanted to have the properties of chainmail", but robes are entirely different in material from chain metal. That doesn't make sense."

The robes are made from an entirely differant material from chain metal, which is why I never said that the material itself has the properties of chainmail; rather, the enchantment bestows upon the robes said properties.

"I don't understand why blunt force would bypass the robe's enchantments."

As I've just said, it doesn't. The blunt force of a smashing attack would transfer through the robes (as it does with chainmail) and go on to damage the wearer; the robes and their enchantment would remain completely intact and unharmed.
