in an answer to a quiz I offered, "Les invites, sont ils arrivés" and was marked nearly correct.

Is a comma absolutely forbidden here?

It is not the comma that is the problem; rather, you are missing an accent aigu on "les invités" and you must have a hyphen when writing a question with inversion (sont-ils ).
