I'll point out that these are not the same: The first actually calls a
constructor, whereas the second calls opAssign.

In any case, here is a reduced test case:

struct S(T)
{
    T i;
    this(T j) inout //<-- HERE
    { }   
}

struct K
{
    S!int nullable;

    this(int)
    {
        nullable = 0;
        //Or nullable = S!int(0);
    }
}

The issue is the "this" is marked as inout. I'm not quite sure what that
(currently) means, but it's what is triggering the issue.

Re tagging as DMD regressions.
