Thanks for the report.
I can't reproduce that:

  $ ./cp --parents /bin/cp /tmp
  $ find /tmp/bin
  /tmp/bin
  /tmp/bin/cp
  $

Would you please investigate it?
Does your /bin have unusual permissions or attributes (a la lsattr or ACLs)?
For example, what does

  strace -o log ./cp --parents /bin/cp /tmp

put into the `log' file?
