Exceptions in safe D

Are exceptions in safe D possible? I started trying to make my code 
@safe (there's no reason why it can't be as far as I'm aware), but I hit 
the following issue:

----
@safe

class MyException : Exception
{
     this()
     {
         super("");
     }
}

void main()
{
     throw new MyException("");
}
----
$ rdmd test.d
test.d(7): Error: safe function 'this' cannot call system function 'this'
test.d(13): Error: constructor test.MyException.this () is not callable 
using argument types (string)
test.d(13): Error: expected 0 arguments, not 1 for non-variadic function 
type @safe MyException()
----

Is this just unimplemented, is there a workaround, or will this never work?

Thanks,
