digitalmars.D - compiler assert failure with ctfe on simd vector type

I get a compiler assert failing when trying to compile the follow 
minimal case:

import core.simd;

void main() {
	auto arr = si;
}

const float4 si = [1f, 1f, 1f, 1f];

This compiles fine:

import core.simd;

void main() {
	auto arr = si;
}

float4 si = [1f, 1f, 1f, 1f];

Should I file this or am I doing something dumb here?

Possibly unrelated to this, it looks like a bug... but certainly when it comes to any SIMD operation. It's not really possible to solve unless the compiler becomes aware of all architectures intrinsics. One of my goals for std.simd is a CTFE path for all functions in the API. This example should surely work though.
