force_errors is really only intended to affect the xhtml output.

The only way to return them in your code is with get_errors({ forced => 1})
(note that that returns all errors, not just forced ones)
There's currently no way to make has_errors() or submitted_and_valid()
take them into account.

The equivalent to submitted_and_valid() would be:
    if ( $form->submitted && @{ $form->get_errors({forced=>1}) } ) {
      ...
    }
