It might not take long for someone to think of an AoE cloud of meteroic iron filings to dust the area with the teleport block. (The delivery method and bursting charge might even be magical; the push from expanding air or gases would be physical, and so could scatter the iron bits. But purely physical mechanisms might do as well.)
If I was the GM and this came up I'd probably rule that it would depend on the weight or volume ratio for things like Levitation, Flight, Haste etc. If what you can affect based on proximity to and mass of the meteoric iron still offers enough structural integrity, these spells would work (almost) normally.

Using Levitate you would be able to lift someone with several MI arrowheads embedded in their chest, but to lift the same person wearing a MI breast plate you'd have to hope their arms & legs could take the stress.
