An adult would require something like a full inch (2.54cm) tube to breath.

Even if we're talking about a small child, I don't think that tiny "vented"
Minifigure Head holes would help in anything.

In short, I'd say it's Urban Legend.

Maybe it started with
[p=3062b]
?

If you put one in your mouth and (accidentally) suck, there’s way fewer chances
to swallow it than the full stud variant.

Now, the question is: If it’s true for round bricks or heads, why do 1x1 bricks
still have a full stud?  (The square shape doesn’t make them harder to swallow
or to block your baby’s windpipe.) Or for other parts?  There’s several modern
parts with about the same size and no hole, no vent in the stud, like
 
Part No: 85975  Name: Cone 1 1/6 x 1 1/6 x 2/3 (Fez)
* 
85975 Cone 1 1/6 x 1 1/6 x 2/3 (Fez)
Parts: Cone



(No baby was hurt during the procedure.)

(Reviving this only now because I kept forgetting to do it before.)

BTW, I think the venting (open, blocked, or vented) is to prevent a suction effect.
The air is chased when you put the brick/head on a stud/neck, and poof, that
makes a void and you get the Magdeburg hemispheres.
Well… not to the point you’ll need horses to fail to separate them but enough
to make it too hard for a 7-year-old.

No need for a vent in square bricks because there’s room for the air to circulate
around the stud.
No need for a vent in 86975 because the stud is held by struts, not by a cylinder.
