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.

shell-script-mode.
