Indeed it will. Now, if you look closely, you will see that typeid(T) is  
A, while typeid(this) is B. Testing further:

class A {
    void baz() {
        writeln(typeid(this));
    }
}
class B : A {
}

void main() {
     A a = new B;
     a.baz(); // prints B.
}

We thus see that the template this parameter has absolutely no value.
