I guess I've added a few bytes since making the copy, but essentially
the same. QuickSilver can Show Contents on keys_alt.txt just fine, but
fails if I mv back.
It certainly would have been quite insane if the file name were some
secret auto-destruct trigger. Is there some cache that I need to nuke?

Can you open a terminal and run |stat ~/Desktop/keys.txt| and reply

FWIW, I created a file named |keys.txt| and I can arrow in / |show
contents| just fine.

This happened out of the blue, as far as I can recall. By moving

problem exists only for one specific filename, "keys.txt". If I "mv
keys.txt keys2.txt", then I can right-arrow into the renamed file.
If I then "mv keys2.txt keys.txt" back to the original name, then I
once again cannot show the file contents.

Sorry if you mentioned this, but I only have the most recent
message in this thread. Did this start with a particular version
of Quicksilver or just out of the blue?
Maybe try copying the file to another folder and see if the same
thing happens?
