HOLYGUACAMOLE - I have the same dilema, I don't think that the situation in TAR will affect mainland China too much but in provinces such as Sichuan or Gansu there may be some unrest...
But everything might change till July in that matter so as long as you don't plan on visiting TAR or western Sichuan I think you shouldn't worry.
BTW - I think the rising activity of the military in Chengdu is because the troops are being deployed from there to TAR.
I think all we can do for now is keep ourselves updated on the news and contact your embassy in China in order to get info whether your travel itinerary is safe.

Anyway- I think that if it gets hot in any other regions in China, the authorities will put those areas off limits for foreigners the way they have done with TAR at the moment...
