Spec reads: 3. It is illegal to refer to this implicitly or explicitly prior to making a constructor call. Although it's allowed.

---
class A
{
    int a;
    this(){ M(); this(1); }
    this(int b){ a=b; }
    void M(){ writeln("A.M"); }
}

class B:A
{
    int b;
    this(){ M(); super(); b=5; }
    override void M(){ writeln("B.M ",b); }
}

int main()
{
    auto b=new B();
    b.M();
    return 0;
}
---

output is
---
B.M 0
B.M 0
B.M 5
---

We see how virtual method is called prior to constructor calls and overridden method from derived class is called from the constructor of the base class (called on not yet constructed object).

Compiler bug, not a spec issue.
