module foo;

struct S
{
    void func() { }
}

struct X
{
    public alias s this;
    private S s;
}

module test;

import foo;

void main()
{
    X x;
    x.func();
}

$ rdmd test.d
> test.d(8): Error: undefined identifier 'func'

I'm not exactly sure, perhaps the public alias to a private symbol should be
disallowed in the first place. Otherwise a better diagnostic should be made.
