Array type inference

I am using an array of objects, all of which have a common type
(They are all sub classes of Field). If I declare an array of
these objects, D seems to try to cast them all to the last type
in the array, rather than picking a common supertype. This
happens even if I specify a type for the array, D still doesn't
cast the types properly.
In the error message it also seems that it casts _some_ types
properly, but others not, resulting in some very strange error
messages. I can work around this by casting all of the elements
to the common supertype, but this is not ideal.
Is this a known bug, expected functionality, or should I file a
bug request?
