Turns out the root of all evil are the version (ddoc) blocks in phobos. 
what a great idea to change method SIGNATURES using them.
as soon as one uses those methods and tries to build ddocs out of the 
own code (using -D) methods get referenced that are not actually in the 
phobos lib. great idea since the signatures differ !
manifests in this bug btw:

I wish i had tested the beta before release..

I still have no clue what this is about.
