The enchantment's weight adjustment is made after that of the special material, since you need to have an actual armor (which has a certain weight) before you can enchant said armor. You cannot start with a certain enchanted steel armor and then transform it into being made of mithral instead. Hence, a nimble mithral breastplate weighs 20 lb.
