It seems autossh is not ssh compatible:

$ ssh localhost perl -e \'"print 1"\'
1
$ autossh localhost perl -e \'"print 8"\'
Bad escape character ''print 8''.

But:

$ autossh localhost 'perl -e "print 1"'
1

So if you have myautossh:

    #!/bin/bash

    host="$1"
    shift
    autossh $host "$*"

Then you can:

parallel --sshlogin localhost --ssh myautossh echo ::: 1
