It should not be. Both Solaris 8 and Solaris 10 state in touch(1):

NOTES
      Users familiar with the BSD environment will find  that  for
      the touch utility the -f option is accepted but ignored. The
      -f option is unnecessary because touch will succeed for  all
      files owned by the user regardless of the permissions on the
      files.
