module foo;

struct S
{
    private void m() { }
}

module test;

import foo;

void main()
{
    static if (__traits(getProtection, S.m != "private"))
    {
        // field might be accessible
    }
}

$ dmd test.d
> test.d(7): Error: struct foo.S member m is not accessible

There's not much point in having this trait if it fails to compile due to
accessibility problems. The trait has only one purpose and it's to return a
string representation of a symbol's protection. There's nothing damaging about
allowing it access to all fields, so I think the above should work.
