opAssign() calls members' postblits?

import std.stdio;
struct A {
this(this) {
writeln("A.this(this)");
}
B b1, b2;
}
struct B {
this(this) {
writeln("B.this(this)");
}
}
void main() {
A a, b;
a = b;
}
This outputs:
B.this(this)
B.this(this)
A.this(this)
Now, http://dlang.org/struct.html#AssignOverload says:
ref S opAssign(S s)
{
S tmp = this; // bitcopy this into tmp
this = s; // bitcopy s into this
tmp.__dtor(); // call destructor on tmp
return this;
}
Note the term "bitcopy", which for me implies that no postblits
are supposed to be called.
What the compiler does makes sense to me, but it seems to
contradict the documentation. I guess the call to the postblit is
missing in the pseudo-code... Am I right?
