D.gnu - slightly moronic gdc error: string template parameters plus unittest

I have the following line somewhere in my source.
class database(RECORD) {

   record!("name", char[])[] list;
}

Now, if I switch unittests on, gdc (0.23, MinGW 4.1.2) emits the following code:
	.stabs	"record!("name",char[])
[]:Tt(1,30)=s8length:(1,7),0,32;ptr:(1,31)=*(1,32)=xsrecord:,32,32;;",128,0,55,0
Note the "outer" '"'s and the "inner" '"'s.
Unsurprisingly, the assembler barfs on this.

Also seems to happen in debug mode. Basically, anything that makes gdc emit the
stabs entry.

 , gdc (0.23, MinGW 4.1.2) emits the 
 following code:
     .stabs    "record!("name",char[]) 
 []:Tt(1,30)=s8length:(1,7),0,32;ptr:(1,31)=*(1,32)=xsrecord:
32,32;;",128,0,55,0

Manually escaping the inside ""s in the .s file (.stabs	"record!(\"name\" ...
") seems to make it work; maybe we should do that.
