Yes, but string _literals_ must be zero-terminated IIRC. I can't find the
relevant docs on dlang.org but see for example this site:
http://dlang.org/interfaceToC.html "However, string literals in D are 0
terminated."

So doesn't this belong to the string-literal rule?
"0x1.FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFEp-16382" is a string literal and should be zero
terminated. If we then assign this literal to s there's no copy, so I'd expect
s.ptr to point to the literals memory and that should be zero-terminated.

Is there an error in this reasoning?
