That category list really should be changed, it is completely
inappropriate for a compiler. Almost every bug affects development and
testing work in that sense! (And segfaults of the compiler are not as
bad as incorrect code generation).
The fact that a particular example does not compile with -release is not
a blocker. I can assure you that contract programming works in general.
Blockers are very rare, one example occurred in an early DMD release
where almost any program would fail to compile. I doubt that any
blockers will be discovered that aren't regressions.
(An example of a blocker would be: "dmd can no longer be used with build").
To have any chance of this being fixed, you need to have a go at cutting
down the error. Walter generally ignores bug reports which are longer
than 20 lines. I suspect he'll completely ignore the severity.
