Turns out I didn't hit one of those bugs, but one of the problems I was 
hitting was the old problem where package.d completely fucks any and all 
attempts at using a FQN. Worked around with local selective renamed imports.

FQN used to be a real killer feature of D: To deal with name collisions, 
you could *ALWAYS* replace a visible symbol with it's FQN and it would 
*just work*. But now with package.d, UFCS, and 2.071's selective import 
behavior, that benefit's pretty much been shot to hell.
