Definitely a bug, but likely one that will not be fixed.  std.process has  
been rewritten, and the result is waiting for a change to the Windows C  
runtime (dmc) for supporting pipes.

However, you are on Linux, so you can probably use the updated std.process

see here:

You will likely have to do some git cloning to get these into the latest  
phobos.
