Isn't this expected? Static arrays (as in, type[const] foo;) are
on the stack by definition, therefore have a ptr. Dynamic arrays
are allocated, and (for C compatibilty?) are null'ed when set to
length 0.
(I know you know this, btw, just asking why this surprises you)

If you read std.stream's buffered stream class, you can see Walter
has kept the buffer array with at least 1 value so it keeps an
address. (Again, for some arcane reason)

I somehow mixed mixed up pointer to pointer and static arrays...

Thanks, I fixed the test case.
