The Antimagic Field spell states the following:
Summoned creatures of any type and incorporeal undead wink out if they enter an antimagic field. They reappear in the same spot once the field goes away.
While most naturally incorporeal creatures are decidedly undead, there are a few that are not. Here is a short list:
Shadow Demon (BoVD) - Outsider
Ethereal Ooze (FF) - Ooze
Spectral Lurker (FF) - Aberration
Glimmerskin (MM2) - Outsider
Spirit of the Land (MM2) - Fey
Prismatic Golem (MM3) - Construct
Trilloch (MM3) - Outsider
Spectral Panther (MF) - Magical Beast
Unraveler (PlH) - Outsider
Vivacious Dire Tiger (PlH) - Outsider
Karalaq Quori (SoS) - Outsider
Unbodied (XPH) - Monstrous Humanoid
I do not know if this list is exhaustive, and most sources are 3.0 rather than 3.5. Still, what happens to these creatures in an antimagic field? Do they wink out like undead do? The Rules Compendium may state as much (I do not have access to the Rules Compendium, so I cannot verify this, but I have a link below that quotes it). Or do they become immune to damage? I have the potential for this situation to come up, and I think I want to make it uncommon lore that any incorporeal creature would wink out in an antimagic field. It would be uncommon given how few incorporeal creatures are not undead.
I found a similar query on the Pathfinder forums:

With two suggested houserules and no definitive answers.
I found a different question (but still in the same vein) here on the forums:

Then, from RPG.stackexchange:
https://rpg.stackexchange.com/questions/63950/the-unbodied-in-an-anti-magic-field
Here they actually quote a Rules Compendium difference where it says incorporeal creatures of all types wink out in an antimagic field. Is this canon? If so, that makes this a very easy to answer question.
