You seem to be correct about that - I have also been stopped (twice on one journey - Guangqumen Qiao & Shuangjng Qiao) and then waved on as soon as I lifted the helmet (although they did take notice of the A plate, pointing at it). I saw several bikes pulled aside with what appeared to be unhappy riders sitting on the curb. I didn't stop and watch, as that struck me as too tacky. I wanted to, though.

Chinese forums are quite active discussing this crackdown. This crackdown has the new twist of traffic camera penalties, and people are commenting on getting fined for B plates inside the 4th ring road, caught by traffic cam. Seems it is 100 rmb fine and no points, by camera, although it could potentially be 200 rmb and 3 points.
