I think you must assume that old devil 'rebound' is at least a component of 
the relationship - If s/he just broke up with someone else, there is a
vaccuum in their life; small or large, it is there.  Of course, this doesn't
say anything about the success of *your* relationship, but maybe it helps to
answer the question "how can i tell if..."

The important thing for you is to try and determine how much of this person's
feelings for you are a temporary thing.
1) you might just what and see, if you are tough and happy.
2) you might say something like 'I am worried that we are together *because*
	you just ended something.  Think about it, and we can talk tomorrow.'
	if neither of you get blinded by heavy emotions (fat chance).
3) you might try pulling back just a little, and see what happens.  Nothing
	serious, subtle.  Especially good if you are worried about yourself
	being too involved/vulnerable/etc.
4) involve a mutual friend.  possibly on the sly.

If you are concerned, do something.  This kind of worry can be poisonous to 
a good thing.  Personally, I like communication; gets intense, though.
