I'm not sure the intended behavior but currently is inconsistent. The following
code fails to compile with:

bad.d(2): Error: function D main is a nested function and cannot be accessed
from bad.fun!(R).fun

T fun(T)() if(is(T == struct)) {
    T s;
    return s;
}

void main() {
    struct R {
        void f() { }
    }

    auto m = fun!R();
}

However removing the function from the struct definition (include other values
if desired) then it will compile. I'd think we'd want templates to have the
ability to create a nested struct.
