My workaround was to list all the characters \s is meant to match.  Note that I
have a bigger example of this bug if you're interested.

Minimal example to avoid wasting your time:

module main;

import std.stdio,std.regex;

void main()
{
  //minimal regex; should match full "sec" but matches "s" instead
  //regextester.com handles it properly
  foreach(m; match("sec", regex(`([\s_]|sec)`, "gi")))
    writefln("%s[%s]%s", m.pre, m.hit, m.post);
  return;
}
