I don't have enough experience with developing parked domains to agree or disagree, but I can comment on what you have stated.
If the new owner continues to park the domain then there is no issue because they are just relying on parking income.
BUT if the new owner plans to develop then there is potential for issues. In order for the online business to grow it doesn't just rely on type-in traffic. In fact, type-in traffic would make up less then 5% of traffic for a successful website. So if the domain was to be penalized in the search engines, the potential for growth is significantly impacted.
