It is this bug: https://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=8062

The problem is that the spec is not explicit about this: "Operator 
overloading is accomplished by rewriting operators whose operands are 
class or struct objects into calls to specially named _member functions_."

Some consider it expected behaviour, based on the explicit mention of 
'member function' in the spec.
