Public bug reported:

The current build_job() only supports simple key/value parameter pairs,
such as those used by string parameters, not the dict-based parameters
used by the parameterized build plugin (such as RunParameter, which
specifies a reference to a previous run of a job).

When trying to build a job with the parameterized build plugin,
build_job() fails. Hacking some debugging code (since there's no logging
at all...) around the urllib calls shows that Jenkins is responding with
a HTTP 405 (method not allowed) and a HTML body including this notice:

You must use POST method to trigger builds. (From scripts you may
instead pass a per-project authentication token, or authenticate with
your API token.) If you see this page, it may be because a plugin
offered a GET link; file a bug report for that plugin
