The service works properly with folders on Lion, so I suppose you are on Snow Leopard, Lucas. There are some differences, as you've noted, which haven't bothered me but I can see how they might bother others. At any rate, it would be good to get the proxy objects working properly. The best thing to do is to add your input on the bug tracker at https://github.com/quicksilver/Quicksilver/issues.
