That behavior has been introduced by fixing issue 9199. But the way was not good, because it unnecessarily breaks existing code.
I opened a new enhancement http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=10150 to fix the regressions and more consistent compiler behavior. How about that?

Yes, but I don't know which one. The issue is attempting to declare:

shared int foo() { ... }

where shared would apply to the 'this' reference, but there is no 'this'
reference. This was an "accepts invalid code" bug in the compiler.
 
I absolutely agree. The change is correct. But there's no deprecation messages or warnings, I don't know if it would be possible though to add.
