I don't know if the lambda form can access the outer scope. Try 
different forms for the comparer:

auto comparer = delegate (a, b)
{
	return this.distMap[a][0] < this.distMap[b][0];
}

BinaryHeap!(Nds, comparer) pendingNds;

or

BinaryHeap!(Nds, "this.distMap[a][0] < this.distMap[b][0]") 
pendingNds;

Caveat: this is off the top of my head and no way even tested or 
read the docs. :)
