I agree it's a bug (and it's still there in DMD 0.96).

The bug seems to be that the "private:" doesn't end with the next "}" 
like it should.

For example, this does seem to work:
class A
{
     this() {}
}

class B(): A
{
     private
     {
         int foo;
     }
}

class C: B!()
{
     this() { printf("C "); }
}

void main()
{
     C c = new C();
}


This bug is similar to another bug report(which also hasn't been fixed 
yet): http://www.digitalmars.com/drn-bin/wwwnews?digitalmars.D.bugs/793
