Well, then something is wrong with your ffmpeg version. Please post a
full command line and complete, uncut console output from a
reproducible attempt.

Your expression works fine for me on Linux with said quotes (though I'm
not sure it makes sense):

$ ffmpeg -f lavfi -i testsrc -c:v libx264 -t 100 -force_key_frames "expr:gte(t,n_forced*5)" -f null -
[I'm not quoting the output here. I simply don't get an error.]
