The error message is:
 found '..' when expecting ']'

But it compiles correctly if parentheses are used around either of the slice arguments.
It only seems to happen if the string itself comes from another char[] parameter.
Tested on DMD 0.141, 0.142 and 0.143.
-----------------------------------------
template whale(char [] walrus)
{
   const char [] whale = walrus;
}

template dolphin(char [] fish)
{
//  const char [] dolphin = fish[0..3];           // OK
//  const char [] dolphin = whale!(fish[0..(3)]); // OK
//  const char [] dolphin = whale!(fish[(0)..3]); // OK
  const char [] dolphin = whale!(fish[0..3]);     // fails
}

//const char [] urchin = whale!("anenome"[0..3]); // OK
const char [] urchin = dolphin!("anenome");
