Having hit similar things earlier, I'll tell you my recipe. I usually 
rebuild *everything* step by step  starting with and including all 3rd 
party D libraries with new dmd. And making sure nothing from old version 
sliped on the path. Yes, that's tiresome, especially when you haven't 
touch those libraries for quite a long time (assuming they are sort of 
stable).
