I can reproduce this on OS X 10.10, but it looks to me like it is a OS X bug, not a Quicksilver bug. Quit Quicksilver, then in the Finder select an alias that points to a volume and press ⌘I to open the Info window. Finder will immediately mount the volume in order to supply the info for the alias. So if Quicksilver is using the normal APIs that OS X provides for getting information about alias files, then when Quicksilver asks for it, OS X will mount the volume in order to provide it. It looks to me like you'll need to report the bug to Apple, I'm afraid.
