This sounds spookily familiar to a bug I logged last month. But I was 
using Tango, and it sounds like you're using Phobos. Here's my bug report:

http://www.dsource.org/projects/tango/ticket/1249

This could be one of those cases where the same bits of code were copied 
and pasted into both Phobos and Tango, resulting in duplicate bugs. If 
you do post a bugzilla report, maybe add a link to the Tango bug. It 
might help.
