At tcl level, focus_force() and grab_set_global() are translated as options to the equivalents of focus_set() and grab_set() [1][2]. If these are not honoured, the options are simply ignored. That's what seems to happen on Mac OS X. So focus_force() does the same as focus_set(), and grab_set_global() the same as grab_set(). No use for the OP's problem...
