The copy action in Quicksilver always copies. The move action simulates 
dragging the file in Finder (not necessarily moving or copying). On the same 
disk, dragging will move. On  different disk, dragging will copy.

I don’t think it’s a safety thing, because the source file isn’t removed until 
the “move” finishes. You can move across disks by holding ⌘ while dragging. The 
reason Quicksilver copies is that there’s no way to supply this modifier.

I wonder if there’s a Cocoa way to force a literal move. If not, maybe we 
should rename the action to “Drag to…” or something. :)
