Oh, that's actually 
https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16271.

So lambda wrapping isn't the issue here. It's just that both ways 
of dealing with the base are possible and arguably plausible. Is 
the current DMD way (base treated as rvalue) the one to be 
followed or has just nobody given this a deeper thought yet?
