D.gnu - Odd code generated for "synchronized" methods

Apparently GDC 0.15 doesn't seem to emit calls to _d_monitorenter and
_d_monitorexit when a method is declared "synchronized". An example that
demonstrates this is available at
http://puolijalka.ath.cx/~ksandstr/synchronize.d and synchronize.s
(compiled with -S -O2).

Is this well-defined behaviour (i.e. that method declaration level
synchronization would be just an interface flag, and that callers are
supposed to do the entering and exiting) or a legitimate bug? Or am I
just confused, and D isn't supposed to have Java-style synchronization
attributes?
