GNU Parallel should not depend on neither vmstat nor vm_stat for most uses, and from your 'parallel --version' I can see it does not fail for all uses. So please include an example that shows the error.

Since none of the developers have access to Macs, it is highly important you also include the output.

It is, however, surprising that you experience errors with vmstat/vm_stat as that was reported fixed https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?35523 line 2239-2243.

On Mac there is vm_stat, whereas on Linux and other systems there is vmstat and no vm_stat. This causes parallel to fail. Version 20111222 worked on Linux and Mac too, I think. The error goes away when a vm_stat link is put in the path that points to the vmstat path, and should be easy to reproduce.
