Thank you very much that helped a lot. I was able to reduce it to the 
following code:

class Foo
{

   @property EntityId entityId()
   {
     return EntityId(3);
   }

}

struct EntityId
{
   uint id;

   alias id this;

   this(uint id)
   {
     this.id = id;
   }
}

int main(string[] argv)
{
   Foo foo = null;
   auto id = (foo) ? foo.entityId : -1;

   return 0;
}
