Seems to be related to calling toHash() on an interface ?
(side note: on Mac, I get "illegal hardware instruction")

std.typeinfo.ti_C.d:
 class TypeInfo_C : TypeInfo

     uint getHash(void *p)
     {
 	Object o = *cast(Object*)p;
 	assert(o);
 	return o.toHash();
     }

Because it crashes, even without involving the AA type :
(The actual crash seems to occur in object.Object.print ?)

 void main ()
 {
     MyClass mc = new MyClass ();
     foo mi = mc;
     Object* mp = cast(Object*)&mi;
     Object mo = *mp;
     debug printf("%d\n", mo.toHash());
 } 

If one uses the class instead of the interface, it works...

 void main ()
 {
     MyClass mc = new MyClass ();
     Object* mp = cast(Object*)&mc;
     Object mo = *mp;
     debug printf("%d\n", mo.toHash());
 }
