The compiler recognizes the situation and reports it as an error, so it 
seems like this is not a bug, but something which is not supported:

     ~/scratch $ rdmd test_scope_a.d
     test_scope_a.d(6): Error: declaration f0 is already defined in
     another scope in main

The rationale in TDPL that Andrei pointed to doesn't seem to cover the 
case above.

Can anyone confirm that the above really is against the rules of the 
language?

I think it is a bug. Technically I understand it - Walter names inner 
functions like main.f0, which does not leave room for functions with the 
same name inside the same function. Shouldn't be difficult to fix 
though. Mind submitting a bug report please?
