FWIW (and if it's worth anything at all) I also have this problem with both the text expanding service that comes bundled with OS X (in the "Language & Text" Systems Preferences panel, under "Text") & when I use xType.app (a free text expansion utility that both Lifehacker & One Thing Well recommend).
However xType also adds the the "snippet" to the clipboard when I type the "shortcut" so if, say, I had an abbreviation "qs" tied to expand to "Quicksilver rocks my world" all I do is type "qs", backspace to remove the unexpanded letter "q" then press "⌘V" which pastes "Quicksilver rocks my world" in. Admittedly an ungainly workaround & also admittedly I have no idea if this works with TextExpander but it may be worth your trying.
