They don't appear to be labeling in both the display name and bio, just the bio, so aren't they breaking the rule?

That account is following part of the rules that are being enforced.

Yes, it is breaking the part about not having the name be clearly labeled but my guess is that they are going to let the ones with a clear bio explanation be last on the list to crack down on. Nitpicking whether the account is clearly labeled is extremely vague and they are going to have fun trying to sort out what that actually means.

What do they expect a parody account name to look like?

Ah, I didn't gather that you were implying that they were doing a partial enforcement so I was confused.
