Definitely a bug -- but maybe not in &&. This example compiles:

void main()
{
    const char [] s = int.mangleof;
    static if( s.length > 1 && s[1] == 'x' )
        printf( "'x' as second char\n" );
}

And this one gives a quite bizarre error message:

void main()
{
    const char [] s = (int*).mangleof;
    static if( s.length > 1 && s[2] == 'x' )
        printf( "'x' as second char\n" );
}

something about TOK58 doesn't evaluate to a boolean.
