This isn't a regression. It used to compile, but it generated wrong code.
Here's a reduced case:
---
static const char [] x = "abc";
static const char *p = x.ptr;

void main()
{
   assert(p == x.ptr);
}
---
2.063: compiles, but assert fails
2.064: does not compile.
That's an improvement.

With the way the glue layer works at the moment, I don't think this can be made
to work right now. The glue layer only allows you to have a pointer to a
symbol, but this is a pointer to a nameless string literal. It could never have
generated correct code.
