Resolved as invalid, as requested from this forum post:
https://forum.dlang.org/thread/cqgrubkqocbcdxslvkfl@forum.dlang.org

Quoting the rationale here:

> The fix was to use an application manifest file and declare the application as being long path aware (see [another forum post](https://forum.dlang.org/thread/wpritqbjxkifcueotlgr@forum.dlang.org)). The issue should be closed IMO as dirEntries should throw an exception when your program encounters a long path while not being declared as long path aware (it would then match the behavior of std::filesystem:::recursive_directory_iterator when using Visual C++ which throw a runtime_error when it encounters a long path unless your program is declared to be long path aware in its manifest).
