I cannot reproduce your error. I get:

$ seq 1 5 | parallel --gnu
/bin/bash: 1: command not found
/bin/bash: 2: command not found
/bin/bash: 3: command not found
/bin/bash: 4: command not found
/bin/bash: 5: command not found

which is what is expected as per the manual:

    If """command"" is not given GNU parallel will behave similar to cat | sh.

and 'seq 1 5 | cat | sh' gives output similar to what I get.

If this does not clear up your situation please reproduce the error on
a virtualbox as described under 'REPORTING BUGS' in 'man parallel'.
