Is this RDMD bug ?

I don't think this limitation is documented anywhere currently. 
The problem is that rdmd needs a way to know which modules will 
be present in phobos.lib to avoid compiling and linking them 
twice. Currently, it considers that "std", "etc" and "core" are 
package names used by the standard library, not user code. The 
alternative would be to e.g. make rdmd contain the exact list of 
modules in Phobos (which is unmaintainable, and would still 
result in similar errors when the full module name clashes), or 
make rdmd check the filesystem location of each imported module 
(which is not trivial and may require additional configuration on 
non-standard D installations, thus breaking any existing ones).
