I had similar concerns about southern Thailand so checked with some friends in the security business in Singapore. They agreed that it's not the safest place in the world, but the attacks so far haven't been targetted at foreigners. There is, of course, the chance you get caught up in something by accident, but then that can happen anywhere!
Don't know about Burma border - as juddadredd said, check with the GT-riders as that's their back yard.
Best of luck with the ride, and come say hello when you get to Singapore!
