I don't know if I qualify since I haven't done anything with Quicksilver 
itself, but my work on plug-ins has taught me something that might be relevant.

Some actions "return" something back to Quicksilver after they run. The thing 
that gets returned becomes the thing selected in the first pane. In the case of 
the "Move to…" action, the file (in the new location) is returned. As far as I 
can tell, this has always been the case.

Quicksilver can also be told whether or not an action displays a result. If it 
true, the interface will pop back up with whatever was returned. If not, the 
returned thing will still be selected, but you won't see it unless you invoke 
Quicksilver yourself.

This behavior is configured for each individual action (which is why you don't 
see a general preference for it) and is pretty much up to the developer 
defining the action. From what you describe, it sounds like the "Move to…" 
action was modified to display a result in recent versions. I'm still on ß54 
99% of the time so I haven't noticed it myself. This is determined by the 
plist, not the code, so making the change suggested in a previous post should 
change it back to the old behavior.

As for why it changed, it's obviously a judgement call so you'll have to hope 
whoever changed it will chime in.

If you need something, that doesn't mean someone else owes it to you.
