I don't know but in the worst case a system exist to throw @nogc 
exceptions that would work in this case (the message doesn't have 
to be customized so it can be static):

@nogc @safe
void throwStaticEx(T, string file = __FILE__, size_t line = 
__LINE__)()
{
     static const e = new T(file, line);
     throw e;
}

but personaly I 'd prefer that the allocators remains as they are.
