Alot of people don’t people China is sincere ( maybe they have a history there) about this relay being about promoting the Olympic spirit, hence there is even more support for protesting at the Olympic relay than otherwise. On top of that how the Chinese have reacted and behaved has made it even worse. I think you will see a shift in behaviour when the competitions start ( as you can support the olymics but be against the Chinese way), but anything celebratory for the above mentioned reasons just is seen as fake.
I think not allowing the Chinese torch guards to run with the torch may be a good thing for Chinas as so far they have suceeding in their behaviour of shining a bad light on Chinese attitudes with many people calling these torch guards thugs.
By making the torch parade more about the Olympics and less about China, may defuse the level of protests ( however it wont diffuse the sentiments towards China – only China can do that by changing its behaviour).
