Why does this compile (method in class without return type)

Consider:
import std.stdio;
class A
{
final print() { writeln(this); } // no return type
}
class B : A
{
final void print() { writeln(this); }
}
void main()
{
auto b = new B;
b.print();
A a1 = b;
a1.print();
A a2 = new A;
a2.print();
}
That compiles:
$ dmd -de -w -g ./main.d
$ main
main.B
main.B
main.A
with dmd 2.074 on linux:
$ dmd --version

Is that a bug? (in the compiler). I'm learning D, and I'm half
way through Andrei's book; I also read the documentation (on D's
website) and I think that shouldn't compile?
