As of dmd v2.065 (5 and a half years after initial report) this problem is
still open.

Visibility limitation is touted, correctly, as a major language feature in "The D Programming Language". It is designed to prevent bugs and reduce development costs.

As such, I took the liberty to raise the importance to "Major". Since the problem is happening to me on recent DMD, I changed the version to both D1 and D2. Hopefully, this will merit some attention to this bug.

In DMD 2.070, the bug still manifests for private template methods. It's fixed for static class functions, and for module-scope functions.

Here's example code that errors out correctly:

    // foo.d
    import std.conv;
    private string func(T)(T t) { return t.to!string; }

    // main.d
    import std.stdio;
    import foo;
    void main() { writeln("hello world " ~ func(4)); }

Error message, as expected:

    main.d(6): Error: module main template foo.func(T)(T t) is private
    main.d(6): Error: function foo.func!int.func is not accessible from module
main

However, if I make a class in foo.d and put the template inside, the code compiles, links, and calls the private function:

    // foo.d
    import std.conv;
    class A {
        private string func(T)(T t) { return t.to!string; }
    }

    // main.d
    import std.stdio;
    import foo;
    void main() { A a = new A(); writeln("hello world " ~ a.func(4)); }

Expected instead: A privacy violation error, as in my first example code.

The provided test cases now correctly error out.
