Patch fixing this issue

This is like a special case of Issue 20046, caused by a wrong instantiation of
emplaceRef. I spent days trying to find a minimal test case, but no success.

The error can easily be reproduced with a unittest build of
https://github.com/thaven/OneFile

(This issue is currently blocking a first release of that package)

The unittest build will produce output like:

----

(library).

The attached patch to Phobos fixes the problem. (Also to be found at
https://github.com/dlang/phobos/compare/master...thaven:fix/make-emplace-shared)

Any help finding the exact trigger for the bug, and thus a minimal test case,
is appreciated.
