The template spec says that they are valid (both D1 and D2), but

template Bleherg(int[int] X) {}

gives:

bug.d(1): Error: arithmetic/string type expected for value-parameter, not
int[int]
---
However, the compiler accepts them as template value parameters when used with
in a tuple argument. The example below works correctly with both D1 and D2.
-----
class C ( T ... )
{
    pragma(msg, "The keys are   ", T[0].keys);
    pragma(msg, "The values are ", T[0].values);
}

alias C!( [ "abc"[] : 73, "sdg":6 ] ) G1;
alias C!( [ 22354.56 : 273, 43565.12:96 ] ) G2;
-----
Additionally, the name mangling for both array literals and AA literals is
clearly documented in the spec ABI page.

The error message is erroneous.
