I don't know why you'd need arch if you're running the tests on the same
system that you're building them. And I don't know if ldc has the code
coverage stuff that dmd has or not - that depends on which pieces of it are
in the front end and which pieces are in the backend. I'd suggest trying it
with dmd instead of ldc to see if you get different results. If

dub test --coverage

does work, whereas running it with the extra flags doesn't, then that at
least tells you something about what's going wrong.

I don't know then. It was just a thought based on what I've seen before.
Clearly, something is making it so that test doesn't run, but I have no idea
what.

dub does have its own forums though, so you probably stand a better chance
of getting useful help there:
