That, or you are comparing different D language versions.

The D language is evolving: different DMD compiler versions may 
treat the same code differently.

LDC - the LLVM D compiler (683d9e):
   based on DMD v2.071.1 and LLVM 3.5.2svn-r255994
                              ^^^^^^^
So this LDC version is compatible with the D-language spec of DMD 
2.071.
When comparing compilers on code they accept/decline, you have to 
compare the same language spec.
