Interesting post, particularly the comment about iterators. It raises 
the question what security related bug classes can be found in D and are 
to be aware of. I'm no expert on this matter at all but what comes to mind:

- inappropriate use of delegates (messing with the stack)
- array slices / array bounds errors
- inappropriate use of destructors (but probably not common)

Or to put it another way, if D will get popular enough via what language 
constructs will software written in it most likely be exploited?

The garbage collector implementation may have some issues? But this is 
not part of the language I suppose. And the objection that bare-metal 
(pointers) access is possible is not that relevant imho, since 1) D is a 
systems programming language after all and 2) this feature is not 
something that is the default nor is it dressed up as in C++.

Any other concerns / thoughts / recommendations?
