That's a mild bug :-) You can live with it, until it's fixed. There are far worse bugs in DMD now. You can't ask the implementation of a new language to be bug-free. Especially a language that has grown so quickly.

It's a bootstrap situation: bug get found and fixed while people write larger and larger programs, and people are able to write larger programs because bugs get fixed. At the moment is wrong to use D2 for live-or-death situations, for systems where reliability is critical. But as it gets debugged more and more the scope of its usability will grow. D is designed to eventually be a reliable language, more than C :-)
