It does seem to be a an issue with the amount of time that the trigger keys are held. I changed my trigger to work on Key Release, and if I type it quick enough it does in fact work.
That's not an ideal solution for me so I'll continue to use Butler rather than QuickSilver. QS was my first love but it's little issues like these in the more basic functionality that prevent me from moving back. some day I hope to return to the QuickSilver fold.
