Please provide a link to your reference. [snip] It wouldn't be a gas while chemically bound in the solid. It only becomes a gas when the solid is acted upon by other chemicals, such as would likely be the case during analysis or use of the Fe-Si.
I don't have a reference for the specific compound. The only references I had were those already mentioned in a previous post for iron & silicon carbonyl, and a vague reference to a possible ferro-silicon carbonyl:- https://books.google.com.au/books?id=8vs3AAAAIAAJ&pg=PA235&lpg=PA235&dq=%22silicon+carbonyl%22&source=bl&ots=fuTYln3jPN&sig=ACfU3U174UTIgXFSg4R6BqiqDvTbvhufBg&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjb0tuk5ZTiAhVVi3AKHXvpAl04ChDoATADegQICRAB#v=onepage&q=%22silicon%20carbonyl%22&f=false Nevertheless I still think a chemical explanation is more likely than a transmutation based explanation.
