This is an interesting one, and perhaps one of Quicksilver's biggest shortcomings: there's no blurring between Text Mode and 'normal' mode. Perhaps an idea could be to have a 'text mode' item in the results list for ALL searches.
E.g. if you search for "safari" Quicksilver will show "Safari.app" in the list (first, if you've specified it to be) followed by a "Safari" text object, and then the rest of the results. Getting to the safari text object would involve pressing ↓ once or something similar.
