In Leopard, the input menu defined input globally, such that switching languages affected all text entered everywhere. In Snow Leopard, input language can be defined differently for each document window. This is a good thing, because it means that even if you are working in Japanese elsewhere, you can now set QS to always use English. Unfortunately, in your case you somehow have it set to use Japanese, but this isn't hard to fix.
First, open the Input Sources pane of Language & Text preferences. Make sure that your input sources are set to allow a different one for each document. Then take note of the keyboard shortcuts that are set for switching between input languages. Next, invoke QS's command window. Once QS is active, use the keyboard shortcut to switch input to English. That's it. Finally, in the future simply take care not to switch inputs while working in the QS command window. The reason you have to use the keyboard shortcut here is because using the mouse to click the input menu causes QS to dismiss itself, which makes it impossible to use the menu to control the input in the command window.
