required for integration with C++

btw, extern(C++) can be skipped, the issue is valid for extern(D) as well

I'm not sure what the desired effect of @disabling the destructor is supposed to achieve? If this is for C++ integration either: a) don't declare it or b) if is required to consume a viable slot declare a dummy function.

The reason is to be sure that a D compiler does not compile ~this at all.

For structs if no destructor is given then no destructor is compiled.

struct S
{
    this(int i){}
}

extern(C++) S foo()
{
    return S(3);
}

void main()
{
    import std.traits;
    import std.stdio;
    writeln(__traits(allMembers,S)); // Prints: __ctor
}

For classes, inheritance is involved so you can't disable it anyway.

The struct might have other members with destructors. It would be useful to prevent their destructors from being called, so this issue seems valid to me.
