Just tried it in my VMWare window:

     urxae at ubuntu:~/tmp$ cat test.d
     import std.stdio;

     class DerivedException : Exception { this() { super(""); } }

     void main() {
         try {
             // Code that throws some exception.
             throw new DerivedException;
         } catch (Exception ex) {
             writefln(ex.classinfo.name); // writes "DerivedException"
         }
     }
     urxae at ubuntu:~/tmp$ dmd -run test.d
     DerivedException
     urxae at ubuntu:~/tmp$ uname -a
     Linux ubuntu 2.6.17-10-386 #2 Fri Oct 13 18:41:40 UTC 2006 i686 
GNU/Linux

So that's not it either.
