digitalmars.D.learn - dmd 2.072.0 beta 2 no size because of forward reference

Hey,

the code bellow compiles with dmd 2.071.2, but doesn't compile 
with the same command with dmd 2.072.0 beta2. Maybe someone knows 
what's going wrong or whether it is a bug in 2.071.2/2.072.0 (it 
is a reduced part from memutils):

app.d:
import memutils.utils;

struct HashMap(Key, Value)
{
	int[] m_table; // NOTE: capacity is always POT
	
	~this()
	{
		freeArray!(int)(m_table);
	}
}

----------------------------------------------------------
module memutils.allocators;

final class FreeListAlloc()
{
	import memutils.utils : MallocAllocator;
}

----------------------------------------------------------
module memutils.utils;

import memutils.allocators;

final class MallocAllocator
{
}

final class AutoFreeListAllocator()
{
	FreeListAlloc!()[12] m_freeLists;
}

alias LocklessAllocator = AutoFreeListAllocator!();

R getAllocator(R)() {
	return new R;
}

void freeArray(T)(auto ref T[] array)
{
	auto allocator = getAllocator!(LocklessAllocator); // freeing. 
Avoid allocating in a dtor
}
--------------------------------------------------------


The command to compile:
dmd -c -Imemutils/ app.d -of/dev/null


Builds with the latest stable. Fails with the beta:

memutils/utils.d(9): Error: class 
memutils.utils.AutoFreeListAllocator!().AutoFreeListAllocator no 
size because of forward reference
memutils/utils.d(14): Error: template instance 
memutils.utils.AutoFreeListAllocator!() error instantiating
memutils/utils.d(11): Error: template instance 
memutils.allocators.FreeListAlloc!() error instantiating
memutils/utils.d(14):        instantiated from here: 
AutoFreeListAllocator!()
app.d(9): Error: template instance memutils.utils.freeArray!int 
error instantiating
app.d(13):        instantiated from here: HashMap!(int, uint)



Compiles with the lates beta if:
dmd -c -Imemutils/ memutils/* app.d -of/dev/null
