I've used the demangler and can verify that the is outdated. These are the bugs I encountered:

std.demangle incorrectly handles template floating point numbers
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4323

std.demangle doesn't parse ref, pure, nothrow
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3334

I've not used the new demangler in druntime but at least I has code for demangling the function types mentioned in bug 3334.
