I'm not sure what you're seeing but it works for me:

(auth-source-backend-parse "test")

=> [object auth-source-backend "test" netrc "test" t t t auth-source-netrc-create auth-source-netrc-search]

Try to run this:

(mapcar 'auth-source-backend-parse auth-sources)

and check the output.  It should be a list of backend instances like
above.

Maybe you still have an old .elc file?  Or you're using Emacs'
auth-source.el, which hasn't been updated yet?
