It should work. We need more context to try and help figure it out. Even 
if you can't post the entire program, maybe more context from mystruct.

In general:

T*[] arr;

arr ~= someTPtr;

should ALWAYS work. There is absolutely no postblits or dangling 
pointers happening at THIS point, and you are allocating an array to 
hold a pointer.

I suspect that your diagnosis of where the problem is happening is faulty.
