I don't think that this is a bug but rather than dmd used to be buggy with
regards to this case.

dst = src;

is assigning src to dst. And assigning a dynamic array to a static one isn't
legal. If

dst = src;

were allowed, then it would be inconsistent with the case where both dst and
src are dynamic arrays.

dst[] = src[];

on the other hand is specifically copying the elements of src to the elements
of dst. So, it's possible that this is a regression and that

dst = src;

is supposed to just translate to

dst[] = src[];

when dst is a static array, but I think that it's far more likely that this is
a case where a long-standing bug was fixed.
