Yes, behavior is undefined.

 from http://digitalmars.com/d/2.0/statement.html#ForeachStatement :

"The aggregate must be loop invariant, meaning that elements to the  
aggregate cannot be added or removed from it in the [loop body]"

I have gotten around this in dcollections by removing elements outside the  
loop body.  See for example the keypurge function of HashMap  
(http://www.dsource.org/projects/dcollections/docs/current/dcollections.HashMap.html)
