--- Comment #2 from Jonathan M Davis <issues.dlang at jmdavisProg.com> ---
The same thing happens if it's a module-level static constructor. So, the class
doesn't matter. And doing the same assignment to the array with a ref in
foreach works in a normal function. It's specifically when that assignment is
done in a static constructor that this happens.

My guess is that it stems from the fact that if a variable is initialized is a
static constructor, then it's not supposed to be initialized before that
(otherwise, you couldn't initialize const or immutable variables that way), but
I don't know.
