Yes, this is a known issue :-(  It's related to how AppArmor is 
used by snapd, rather than anything in the package.  See 
discussion here:

You can use a workaround, which is to explicitly point `rdmd` to 
the actual compiler binary rather than relying on $PATH:

      rdmd --compiler=/snap/dmd/current/bin/dmd

or, instead of `rdmd --compiler=ldmd2`, try:

      rdmd --compiler=/snap/ldc2/current/bin/ldmd2

etc.
