Do you have a separate object.d in your current directory? That 
can cause all kinds of weird errors.

Otherwise I suspect this is a conflict between two versions of 
the compiler. If you had one installed before then updated it or 
maybe if visual d installed a different one, this could be a 
problem. So either some old files were left behind or there's two 
copies installed and VS is running one but pointing at the other. 
Or something.

The noreturn thing is relatively new making me think this might 
be the case.

The compiler and stdlib are ridiculously tightly coupled so any 
version mismatch can cause trouble.

just guessing though.
