I downloaded the tar ball and installed it with
pkg install parallel-3.1.3.tar.gz

It looks like the compilation completed successfully.

Afterwards, I re-started Octave (don't know whether that is necessary) and 
tried to run the following command. But it looks like they failed:
octave:1> pkg load parallel
octave:2>  __test_rfeval__ (@ (x) sqrt (x), 1, @ (info, x) info.message);
error: '__rfeval_slave__' undefined near line 1 column 1
could not load variable
error: could not initialize function handle

The function seems to exist though:
octave:2> which __rfeval_slave__
'__rfeval_slave__' is a function from the file 
D:\Octave\Octave-5.1.0.0\mingw64\lib\octave\packages\parallel-3.1.3\x86_64-w64-mingw32-api-v53\__rfeval_slave__.oct

And on the powershell:
