Weird problem with gnu parallel semaphore inside podman container.

I am having issues using semaphores with gnu parallel in my podman container. Example:

This works: echo test | sem --id test --fg -q -j 5 --pipe -- cat

This doesn't: podman run --rm -it 'docker.io/patlefort/pat-aur:latest' bash -c 'echo test | sem --id test --fg -q -j 5 --pipe -- cat'

result in exec failed:No such file or directory at - line 1..

My system and the container are both Arch based and sem --version report version 20260422.

Any clues as to what could be happening?
