So when adding special abillities to armor, it says that the total bonus can't exceed +10 (enhancement bonus + special ability bonus). My question is that some of the special abilities say something like +3,750gp, etc. instead of listing a bonus. Do these types of special abilities just not count toward the +10 limit?
I believe that's correct. You can have armor with a +10 total bonus, with additional enchantments that simply have a flat cost, such as Energy Resistance or Glamered, etc.

Broven you are correct the GP only abilities do not count toward the +10 limit.
Also note that the enhancement bonus is limited to +5 max (the ability bonus can be as high as +9 - since you need a +1 enhancement bonus before you can add abilities.
I know in 3.5 there was a GP amount limit for abilities put on armors/magic items (not the money amounts for adding pluses), but I don’t know if that is in PF.

Since +1 bonus is only 1000gp, It would seem like it would only be 2000gp. Like Mistmail is +1 chain mail with a special ability that costs 2250gp.
No, it would be 4,000 GP.
You add the pluses first, then look at the price. So in this example, it would be +1 enhancement bonus (minimum needed for any abilities) and then +1 for the Light Fortification. With a total of +2. Then you look at +2, which is 4,000 GP. You don't add the price of +1 twice. You add the pluses and then look at the amount for those pluses.
