Yes I see [that ST does 
more](https://github.com/sublimehq/Packages/blob/master/D/D.sublime-syntax). It has several other issues. 100% of them are caused by the fact that they need to keep up to date with the grammar. That's a pity, an old unproper syntax coloring based on the tokens would work just fine.
