Error: mutable method isolated.graphics.g3d.model.Model.begin is not callable using a const object

[Begah via Digitalmars-d-learn]

I have a pretty weird error : Error: mutable method 
isolated.graphics.g3d.model.Model.begin is not callable using a 
const object

The weird part is that i do not use const or immutable objects in 
my code ( for the Model ) :
struct Handle {
	Model *asset = null;
	string asset_name = null;
		
	alias asset this;
		
	@property bool initialized() {
		return asset !is null;
	}
		
	this(this) {
		(*referenceCount)++;
	}
		
	~this() {
		(*referenceCount)--;
	}
	
	size_t *referenceCount;
}

This structure is where the reference is kept ( allocated with 
c's malloc )
Then in my code, i have a loop as such :
ModelInstance[][Handle] instances;

foreach(ref model, ref instances; this.instances) {
	model.begin();
	foreach(instance; instances) {
		instance.render();
	}
	model.end();
}

But for both model.begin or model.end i get that compilation 
error.

As you can see, i am calling model.begin ( which extends to 
model.asset.begin ) but no const instances are used.

Side note :
When i remove the ref in the for loop :
foreach(model, ref instances; this.instances)

The codes compile and work, i don't understand why being a 
reference or not is a problem.
