If you still have this issue, you could try adding the following 
hook to your Emacs init file:

(add-hook 'd-mode-hook
           (function (lambda ()
                       (setq c-syntactic-indentation nil))))

This seems to do the trick for me (although, obviously, some 
automatic indentation features no longer work, such as 
indentation of the first line after an '{' and de-indentation of 
'}').
