No, the error is in the assignment:

struct S
{
    int i;
}

void main()
{
    __traits(getMember, S, "i") = 1;
}

Error: need 'this' to access member i

The trait docs specifically state that all the trait does is forms an
expression. 

But I don't think we even need it anymore since we can use string mixins,
although it has to be around for backwards-compatibility.
