Even leaving aside the fact that the "anomalously low entropy" of Voynichese is something at least not consistently proven, from the viewpoint of  formal logic the entropy's value, be it high or low, says nothing about whether the text is enciphered or not.

Just because a message in a language which has low entropy may have been enciphered.
