It's not a bug; it's a feature that doesn't exist.  Moreover, you can't ask for 
both velocities and forces to be written to a coordinate file, anyway.  The 
format wouldn't support it.  You can write forces to .trr files or output them 
with gmx traj -of, but you can't write them to coordinate file formats.  The 
code should be easy to extend if you want to do it, though.
