--- Comment #1 from Rainer Schuetze <r.sagitario at gmx.de> ---
This happens because the string is passed by reference by the x64 ABI. If you
build for the VS engine, it is encoded as "reference" and it works as expected. 

The pointer type is used for historic reasons when building for D engines.
Unfortunately, switching to VS style uses the ugly '@' replacement for types.
