At a wild guess.. doesn't the alias:
   alias int function(int) funcA;

have an implicit "D calling convention" (extern(D)?) label/tag/specifier,  
eg.
   alias extern(D) int function(int) funcA;

so, the alias:
   extern(Windows) alias funcA TFunc2;

really reads something like:
   extern(Windows) alias extern(D) int function(int) TFunc2;

and maybe the later one overrules the former?
