I'm not sure I understand this.  Do you then import a and b into another 
module to reproduce the error?  This doesn't do it for me...

Anyway, I was wrong calling this a Phobos bug.  It's clearly a DMD bug, 
since the error message

    static assert (is(Tuple!(string,float) == Tuple!(string,float)))
    is false

is completely meaningless.
