I wrote about qinyan and ba'alus at greater length at
<http://www.aishdas.org/asp/2007/03/qinyan-and-baalus.shtml>.

Qinyan creates ba'alus in the same sense that the qinyan sudar in megillas
Rus (or as often used to appoint your shaliach for mechiras chameitz)
creates a hischayvus. It's not a different use of the matbei'ah of qinyan.

Tir'u baTov!
