The offending code base is a little big and hard to reduce. I'll 
try if code is required, but here is the gist of the problem:

This snippet of code in my project:

     ...
     alias tmp = genCode!T;
     enum str = tmp.str; // This line here
     ...

Generate a circular reference error.

However, if I do:

     ...
     alias tmp = genCode!T;
     pragma(msg, __traits(allMembers, tmp));
     enum str = tmp.str; // This line here
     ...

Then the error is gone.

Anyone has any idea what could the problem be?

If that pragma(msg) does indeed make it disappear (check -v to confirm), 
then its a bug.

Alright then. I'll spend sometime and see if I can make a minimal 
example.
