So I've thought about this some more, and realized that this won't fix
everything. There are still issues with greater-than and less-than as
binary operators. Maybe a better idea is to give '{' and '}' comment syntax
('<' and '>') so that SGML ignores all the bracketed JS stuff. I've been
trialing this with the following:

(defvar js-jsx-tag-syntax-table
  (let ((table (make-syntax-table sgml-tag-syntax-table)))
    (modify-syntax-entry ?\{ "<" table)
    (modify-syntax-entry ?\} ">" table)
    table))

(defun advice-js-jsx-indent-line (orig-fun)
  (interactive)
  (let ((sgml-tag-syntax-table js-jsx-tag-syntax-table))
    (apply orig-fun nil)))

(advice-add 'js-jsx-indent-line :around 'advice-js-jsx-indent-line)

and have gotten good results so far. This works for js-mode and js2-mode.
If you're both happy with this approach, I'll convert the advice into a
patch for `js-jsx-indent-line' and will send along!
