Is there any particular reason you're using ubyte[][2][hash_t] there? To 
keep a reference to each instance simply use:
----
class MyClass {
     static MyClass[] classInstances;
     this() {
         classInstances ~= this;
     }
}
----

If you in fact want to have a hashmap indexed by the instances with 
values of type ubyte[][2], you can do this:
----
class MyClass {
     static ubyte[][2][MyClass] classInstances;
     this() {
         classInstances[this] = new ubyte[][2];
     }
}
----

The problem in your original code is that you were using = new ubyte[2] 
rather than = new ubyte[][2]. Hope this helps.
