It’s not exactly the “basic” icon. You’ll see that the pref pane’s particular 
icon still appears in the center. This happens because Quicksilver initially 
shows the literal icon for the file (since that can be thrown up quickly), but 
then it asks the system to generate a QuickLook preview in the background on 
the assumption that this will look nicer. In most cases, that assumption is 
correct, but not always as you’ve found.

If you look at /System/Library/PreferencePanes in Finder’s Icon View and/or 
QuickLook one of the files, you’ll see that the “inferior” representation is 
coming from OS X, not Quicksilver.

Long term, I’m not sure of the best way to deal with this. Do we hard code a 
list of file types for which the QuickLook preview is worse than the actual 
icon? Or hard code a list of types for which previews should be enabled and 
ignore the rest? Do we add a bunch of fiddly stuff to the preferences so users 
can make their own list? Do we do nothing?

For now, you can disable the previews by altering the QSLoadImagePreviews 
hidden preference and see how you like it.
