Did that really work before? Looks like a bug as you are 
accessing an element that doesn't exist.

The following works:

import std.stdio;
void main() {
     string[string][][string] myValues;
     assert(myValues.length == 0);

     myValues["a"] = new string[string][100]; // Doesn't have to 
create 100 elements of course
     assert(myValues["a"].length == 100);
     assert(myValues["a"][0].length == 0);

     myValues["a"][0]["b"] = "aoeu";
     assert(myValues["a"][0]["b"] == "aoeu");
}
