And does it say anything at the appropriate place in /var/log/messages?
If "modprobe forcedeth" works for you on command line, there is no
reason why it shouldn't work in /etc/modules. There might be some
unresolved dependencies and if /etc/modprobe gets insmod'ed instead od
modprobe'd you would need to enter the dependencies first.

This is a wild guess though, I would assume it actually does use
modprobe, but frankly I don't know. Your logs can tell. Doesn't look
like a bug.
