This looks like a Sage bug. Indeed, in src/sage/groups/matrix_gps/orthogonal.py one sees
if invariant_form is not None: if is_FiniteField(ring): raise NotImplementedError("invariant_form for finite groups is fixed by GAP") And it should be triggerred for your input, but it does not happen. I've opened https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/28054 to deal with it.
