dmd.conf no longer working?

OK, I think I figured the problem: Unicode!

I have the following repro with DMD64 D Compiler v2.068.2 on Ubuntu 15 
(the default installation). If there's no ~/dmd.conf, running 'dmd' 
alone displays the options.

If there's a zero byte dmd.conf, things still work.

If there's a dmd.conf in Unicode format (I suspect with the two 
signature bytes), dmd crashes with:

dmd: inifile.c:141: void writeToEnv(StringTable*, char*): Assertion `p' 
failed.

This was caused by the MonoDevelop editor, which saves files in the 
format. Emacs also happily loads these files and signals the format with 
a "U" in the status bar.
