Played around with it now several months ago while
looking for thing-at-point-utils.
AFAIR result of `forward-sexp' was
unpredictable in certain circumstances due to
unpredictable results of `scan-sexps'.
Conclusion was to avoid it completely if encountering
a problem.
If you may send me a precise scenario, what to perform
and where available tools fail, that may help to find a
solution.
You can try to edit the following script in shell-script mode, and put
your corser at the first `{' character. Then the first `)' character
will be highlighted, it should light the last `}' character instead of
that `)'.

PS: Here XEmacs parens-highlighting is fine with
shell-script-mode.
XEmacs 21.5 (beta28) "fuki" (+CVS-20070806) [Lucid] (i386-suse-linux, Mule)

I've test this scenario on several platform (win32, Linux x64,
cygwin), all failed to do the right thing.
Thanks,
