If I'm not mistaken, it's CC Mode 5.25 that's included in Emacs 20.6.
This case doesn't work as you describe in that version; the point has
to be at the start of the else line. The other case you mention works,
however.

That's a bug (but it's not in the c-forward-sexp call itself). It has
been fixed since, but I can't give you a localized patch due to
widespread code changes. If you'd like it fixed you can get the
development version by anonymous cvs (see http://cc-mode.sf.net/
anoncvs.php).

The case with the if-else clause still doesn't work as you indicate
though, but I doubt it ever has.
