Well, if you're not seeing the problem with a shared static constructor, then 
that's definitely what I'm going to end up doing. However, we really need a 
reduced test case so that an appropriate bug can be filed for dmd. The current 
code in std.datetime _should_ work with your code. The fact that the singleton 
for UTC is current thread-local instead of shared should not matter one iota 
as far as initialization goes - particularly when immutable globals are 
effectively implicitly shared. So, I am going to change std.datetime so that 
its immutable singletons are shared, but we need a bug report with a small, 
reproducible test case (unrelated to std.datetime) which shows the 
initialization problem. Otherwise, it'll be a problem in the future for other 
code.
