Illegal behaviour or GDC bug?

Good evening all, I'm just starting to learn D and I've been
experimenting with some template stuff as well as checking out
DMD, GDC and LDC. During my experimentation I found a piece of
code that doesn't compile in GDC but does compile in DMD and LDC.
The code snippet can be found here: http://dpaste.com/1BCVKSW
Basically it's a 3D vector with some enums that reference the
structure itself. In GDC produces the following errors:
Line 9: error: cannot create a struct until its size is determined
Line 19: error: template instance Vector3.Vector3T!float error
instantiating
I've seen this error in C++ before and I believe it's illegal
behaviour in C++ land. In regard to D, both DMD and LDC seem to
believe it's legal syntax and allow me to use it without problems.
Have I found a bug with GDC or should I not be able to do this?
