I don't understand what's wrong.

Just glancing at your code, you've marked toString with  property, which is
kind of a weird thing to do, nd if we ever make  property enforce that it's
not called with parens, then that code won't work. So, you might try moving
that  property: to after toString and see if that fixes your problem. But
given the error, my guess is that the problem relates to the fact that you
templatized the constructor, which is often problematic, and whatever type
introspection std.conv.to is doing could be choking on that. So, you should
probably try making it so that the constructor isn't templatized and see if
that fixes the problem.

None of you advice helped.

Fortunately I found a solution:

If I move

     import std.conv : to;

into the function scopes

the problem goes away.

Thanks, anyway, for you time.

Reduced with a workaround:

struct UTCOffset
{
     import std.conv : to;    // Move to module scope to compile

     string toString() const
     {
         return "hello";
     }
}

void main() {
     import std.conv : to;
     UTCOffset().to!string;
}

This is an issue that I know to be known. :) I think it is about private 
definitions (isRawStaticArray) of modules not working outside? or when 
in inner scopes? Something like that...

This introduces UTCOffset.to as an alias to std.conv.to.

     string toString() const
     {
         return "hello";
     }
 }

 void main() {
     import std.conv : to;

This ends up being ignored, because UTCOffset has a member called 
`to`.

     UTCOffset().to!string;

This does not do call std.conv.to through UFCS. Instead, it calls 
UTCOffset's static alias of std.conv.to without an argument.

That is: `UTCOffset().to!string;` = `UTCOffset.to!string;` = 
`std.conv.to!string;`

 }
