Is this a bug in dmd 2.067 for struct initializers?

I don't know whether it is a bug.

In any case, that must be immutable(A)*.

Then you need 'static this()' (or 'shared static this()'):

static immutable B[] someB;

static this() {
     someB = [ B(&someA[0]), B(&someA[1]) ];
}

Note that I could not use the named member syntax because in my case the 
compiler cannot know what the right-hand side expression is. However, it 
is still possible with a temporary where the type is explicit as in your 
case:

static this() {
     immutable B[] tmp = [ {a:&someA[0]}, {a:&someA[1]} ];
     someB = tmp;
}
