It's not a regression, because array was not CTFE-able prior to 2.064. I say
CTFE, because you are declaring a global static. This also recreates the issue:

//----
import std.array: array;
void main()
{
    enum r1 = [""].array; // KO
    static const r2 = [""].array; // KO
}
//----

The "issue" seems to only happen if the element type is a string. I can't
reproduce with other types. Further more, it only happens if the string is a
literal. EG:

//----
void main()
{
    static const string r = "";
    static const r1 = r.array; // OK
    static const r2 = [1].array; // OK
    static const r2 = [""].array; // ERROR
}
//----

Here is a reduced case.

//----
T[] arr(T)(T[] input)
{   
    static T* getAddr(ref T t)
    {   
        return &t; //Error: returning a pointer to a local stack variable
    }
    getAddr(input[0]);
    return input;
}

void main()
{  
   static const string r = "";
   static const r1 = r.arr; // OK
   static const r2 = [1].arr; // OK
   static const r3 = [""].arr; // ERROR
}
//----

I can't really make any sense of this on my end. Maybe Don has an idea?
