It's a known issue. The deprecated std.random.rand was removed, and when fixing 
the dmd tests accordingly, it was revealed that a test which used rand was 
actually defective and that the optimizer bug that it was supposed to test for 
wasn't actually fixed:

So, the optimizer bug needs to be properly fixed and the test adjusted 
accordingly. Until then, the test is failing.
