No, it is not an rdmd bug.

"etc" is a standard D package name reserved for Phobos, the 
standard library. It is the same for "std" and "core".

I was the one who introduced the change[1] which unfortunately 
broke your code. However, the change fixed using rdmd to compile 
programs which imported std.net.curl or etc.c.curl.
