Based on some advise I received in IRC, I've broken the fix into 
a series of 3 pull request that should be green with each step.  
That is:

Step 1 should already be green.
After Step 1 is pulled, Step 2 should become green.
After Step 2 is pulled, Step 3 should become green.

Step 1: https://github.com/dlang/phobos/pull/5709 - Deletes an 
incorrect Phobos unittest that is preventing Step 2 from passing 
its test suite.
Step 2: https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/7097 - The actual fix 
for issue 11246
Step 3: https://github.com/dlang/phobos/pull/5704 - Repairs the 
unittest that was deleted in Step 1 so it properly tests for 
correct behavior.

Hopefully it won't be such a leap of faith to pull Step 1 given 
that it appears to be testing positive for incorrect behavior.

Thanks,
Mike
