$! is the PID of the last background job. That's being expanded to 0
because the argument to -e is in double quotes, resulting in an
expression starting with "0N;"
In bash, $! expands to the empty string when there are no background
jobs, rather than to zero. In that case the expression starts with
"N;" which is also probably not what you meant, but isn't a sed error.
You need to quote the expression so that the $! is not expanded. This
might work:
EXPR='$!N;/\nXQ@A00165/!P;D' parallel -a temp3.fq -k --block 50M
--pipe-part 'sed -e "$EXPR"'
