In theory, this does seem like a problem. However, in practice, I don't think it will be a big deal.
I'm pretty sure that BB10 already uses a lot of sophisticated heuristics to distinguish various finger movements. It tries to interpret your intention based on speed, position, etc.
In fact, you can experiment with this on Q10 now. Try a little swipe up from the keyboard. Continue to the screen, but not too far up. There's a threshold below which BB10 won't register it as a gesture.
It won't always get it right, but I think it will work most of the time.
Even now, on my Q10, when I'm scrolling down a web page, my gesture often gets misinterpreted as a swipe up, and the browser gets sent into an active frame.
