Compiler doesn't see the inherited opApply in this example

Hello, can anybody explain why the following code compiles with -version=works but not without?
module test;
import std.stdio;
abstract class Parent
{
int opApply(int delegate(ref int) dg)
{
int fakeDelegate(ref uint fake, ref int content)
{ return dg(content); }
return opApply(&fakeDelegate);
}
abstract int opApply(int delegate(ref uint, ref int) dg);
}
class Child : Parent
{
override int opApply(int delegate(ref uint, ref int) dg)
{
uint index = 0;
for(int content = 1; content < 6; content++)
{
int result = dg(index, content);
if(result != 0)
return result;
index++;
}
return 0;
}
}
void main()
{
version(works)
Parent child = new Child();
else
Child child = new Child();
foreach(int content; child)
writefln(content);
}
I'm making some collection classes and had the same problem. It seems like for some reason the compiler can't match the index-free foreach() in the child, but can in the parent. It obviously knows it's there, or else it wouldn't compile because the index-free opApply would be abstract. Any thoughts?
