Shinra Tensei is definetely capable of pushing a TBB away, although I'm not sure if it can dissolve it completely as with the case of Rasenshukiken (cause it's an extremely concentrated high-density chakra, unlike the latter). But seems like it's a major problem for those who'd try to literally absorb TBB. Hashi's wood dragon wasn't able to do so (when it bound Kurama during the battle in VoTE, Kyubi fired a TBB directly at it's head and smashed it away, forcing Hashi to use Wood Human to catch the bomb). I think the principle is similar to conterbalancing of the same nature transformations (although it's not the same thing): if the absorption technique holds more chakra than the technique it's going to absorb, it'll absorb it for sure and use the absorbed energy to power itself up, but, contrariwise, if the chakra amount is not enough, the other technique will destroy it. But I'm confident that there's so huge amount of chakra embedded into the TBB, which has this high density, that it makes the jutsu almost impossible to absorb.
