This may sound really far-fetched, but is it possible that it's not the same kind of chin wobble?
I have seen and heard the kind of wobble that Whitney Houston has---and avoid it like the plague------
HOWEVER, when I'm reeaallyy relaxed, and hit a big note, sometimes my jaw moves a bit just from the air pressure/sound or whatever (are you liking the technical terms?). The first time I noticed this, I stopped & asked my teacher what I was doing wrong, & she said "nothing." The movement was very slight, and more a result of my letting go of my jaw tension than any goofy manipulation--and it's definitely not the source of my vibrato.
If you feel no tension when this occurs for you, maybe it's a similar type of thing?
