Spinesheath is a bit odd, as is Conlan's Hammer. They don't get the + to damage, but they get a + to attack. I believe the + to attack is the "enchantment rating", so Spinesheath is technically a +5 for the purposes of hitting creatures. I'm not totally certain, so if anybody knows differently, let me know.
I believe Spinesheath is actually +1 when determining what creatures to be hit.

Also note the 'high quality' and 'finest' weapons are considered non-magical for enchantment purposes.

So I think your best bet is to look at bonus to damage and not bonus to thaco to determine enchantment.
Again though, there could be exceptions. When in doubt I think trial and error is the way to go.
