I can't reproduce the two most serious-sounding ones (6665 and 6669).
One of the others is trivial to fix:

bug 6781. Regression(2.055): Segfault with error in local alias template
expression.c(2500). IdentifierExp::semantic().

#if DMDV2
    if (hasThis(sc))
    {
        AggregateDeclaration *ad = sc->getStructClassScope();
-        if (ad->aliasthis)
+        if (ad && ad->aliasthis)
        {
Bug 6753 looks like the only other regression which is more recent
than 2.054. There's a few regressions from 2.053 though:
Bug 5364 "optimizer kills high dword of -1"  also looks very serious,
but I can't reproduce it either.
