In that case, the DR is applied normally against the Follow-Up, just like it is under other circumstances. The mythic flame hits the ghost's armour and disperses while the sword passes through. If there's enough damage for the mythic flame to penetrate the DR, the remaining damage is applied against the ghost; if there's not enough, then there's no injury.
