Talking from a Java point of view:
Only compiler and VM bugs are included in DStress.

Talking form a D point of view:
All those parts in Phobos that are part of the language standard
- - like GC, switch/case and int[].sort - are tested.
General lib features like std.string.toString aren't tested.

"VM" bugs can't be separated from "pure" compiler bugs.
- - int[].sort could be created by the compiler or call a library
function
- - a simple compiler might use generic lib features to do the GC but an
advanced compiler could create an explicit GC optimized for that very
source code

By "language standard" do you mean the parts of the D standard that are 
about the language itself rather than the standard library?

Yes. The border case is http://dstress.kuehne.cn/run/align_08.d
GC is a language feature but direct access to the GC isn't.

In general everything in phobos/internal and phobos/std/typeinfo qualifies.
