Could you maybe explain what you mean by "C++-style
overriding" as opposed to Java-style overriding?  In
what way is D more like C++ here than like Java?

The overriding rules seem similar in C++ and in Java,
though the name/function lookup rules are very
different, and there are restrictions on Java related
to changing visibility when overriding.
