Anyway I think I'll be able to hack-in circular reference support to msgpack, but it's not going to be compatible with the protocol (well a new Header type will have to be introduced). It's not a big issue for me since I only use it offline. I'll post a link to the fork when I'm done.

You can try vibe.d bson serialization.

It doesn't handle them either. Anyway I've implemented it for msgpack (took a whole of 30 minutes, it's a great and readable codebase), I just have to write some more extensive unittests to make sure everything works ok.
