That is very likely the case. To be honest however, I am not entirely sure whether or not the item_armor_percent bonus will interact with base defense values set in monstats.txt. I don't believe there is a relationship, but I could be wrong, and certainly have been before. There's a lot of stuff that is hard coded in the DLL, and maybe Druid summons do have some piece of basic armor equipped. If ITD can work on minions, I suppose someone could perform a quick test by modding Druid summons to have some unaturally high defense bonus, then see if there's a difference in to hit chances between that and when they have no defense bonus.
