Yes I know but since Quicksilver is modeless it will display the dialog attached to SystemEvents and this will put it behind most windows. At least it does so on my system. I could call out 'property parent : app "Finder"' but this has almost no reliabilty with QS :/ )
Also note that the "tell app Finder" can make QS assume that this script takes files as input because QS scans scripts for this phrase. (it's in the source code but it certainly doesn't seem to work as advertised).
