The move to and copy to actions use AppleScript and Finder's implementation. Finder will not let you move files from one volume to another for safety reasons (if your drive disconnects mid-transfer you could lose all the data). Unfortunately this is considered the safest method, and I don't think we have any plans to change it. The QS window staying visible is a feature - it displays the file in its new 'moved to' location.
The 'move to trash' action on the other had DOESN'T use AppleScript. We're discussing changing to using Finder's implementation for moving things to trash. It should mean more reliable trashing. This is all in discussion and may hopefully materialise in a new release soonish.
