The obvious workaround is to separately define a Legend and your
ParametricPlot and join them using ShowLegend.  For example ...

plt = ParametricPlot[..., DisplayFunction->Identity];
lgd = {whole heap of options here -- see manual};
fin = ShowLegend[plt, lgd, DisplayFunction->$DisplayFucntion];

Dave.
