Is that still the case? The following seems to work just fine. 
Maybe Kenji has been working his magic :-)  ?

import std.stdio;

void main() {
   string[string] foo = ["a" : "a", "b" : "B"];
   writeln(foo);
   foo.clear();
   writeln(foo);
   writeln(foo.length);
   foo["x"] = "this is a test";
   writeln(foo);
   writeln(foo.length);
}
-----------------------------------------
["a":"a", "b":"B"]
[]
0
["x":"this is a test"]
1
