D2 is really that stable as it is claimed to be?

OK, this was a latent bug in sources. I think this is not the
first and not the last event when dmd starts rejecting buggy
code. However that means that before the change dmd accepted
invalid and this jeopardizes D implementation. And anyway,
irrespectively of whether issue is a true regression or fixing
accepts-invalid bug, for majority of users this doesn't play much
role but means creating problems of code breakage in each release.
