It seems that monk is riddled with problems. Thankfully, most have been patched like the ki strike being considered a magic weapon against incorporeal debate:
Ghosts and spectres have been haunting the Paizo offices today. Out of sheer fright, we've released this FAQ (save us monks!)
Incorporeal Creatures and "Counts as Magic": Say I have an attack that counts as magical for the purpose of bypassing damage reduction, such as from the monk's ki pool (magic). Does that mean I can't harm an incorporeal creature at all, since the attack doesn't count as magical for that purpose?
Such attacks should also be able to harm incorporeal creatures as if the attack was magic. This will be reflected in future errata.
However, I'm bringing another question to the ki pool. Can it also stop regeneration? For example: A 7th level monk fights a monster with DR 2/cold iron; regeneration 2 (cold iron). That means he can overcome the DR but what about the regeneration? Does it stop? I've scoured the FAQ and the Paizo community and couldn't find anything related to it.
No, and neither can a character with a +5 sword.
Bypassing DR does not stop regeneration, you need to meet the specified condition for that.

Well that sucks. That means I will have to stop pummeling a mutated fey just to prick it with a cold iron weapon.

Thankfully, the new handwraps help for that, too!

Nice! That certainly makes it easier for me. Could use cold iron shrapnel weaved in between the wraps like it states. Future enhancements on them...I look forward to it
