@BallofFire, well, I think that if you have one of those items equipped when you level up the game takes the current skill at face value - so if it above a borderline that means the skill takes 2 or more points to increase then that's how much it will take. In such cases it may be best to unequip the item before increasing the skill.
The best way to be sure is to test it out, I think that it would be 'cheaper' if the item was unequipped before levelling up and equipped again after the process.
I agree.
@ BallofFire
And I always save game after I have reached level-up and before I start allocating points/perk, so that I can reload if necessary, to re-allocate, in case things didn't work out as I expected. It's a good way of checking the effects of equipment on your skills, etc.
I also EQUIP any items that increase skill points on level-up as soon as I notice I am within 300 to 500 skill points of leveling. This will almost certainly leave your character weaker for a short time, but is well worth it, imo.

Only don't forget to re-equip your good stuff afterwards!
