Is there a way to get this associative array initialization to work?

Right, but it doesn't work in variable declarations if that variable is 
part of an associative array.

In other words:

struct S
{
    int x;
}

struct T
{
    S s;
}

T t = {s: {x: 1}}; // nesting works here
S[] arr = [{x: 1}, {x:2}]; // and here
S[string] aa = ["first": {x: 1}, "second": {x: 2}]; // but not here???
