It's hard to use movie-Bilbo's physical transformation in Rivendell as evidence, because the movie exaggerates what happened in the book in that scene. Tolkien's language plays with perception in a couple scenes by describing the impression - in this case Frodo's - rather than what physically happened. I consider that the source of the balrog-wings debate too BTW.
