Apparently, CTFE cannot interpret "new int*" at compile time. However, it can
(!?) interpret new int*[](1)?

However, depending on the context, it may actually no correctly evaluate it:

//----
auto foo1(T)()
{
    return new T;
}
auto foo2(T)()
{
    return new T[](1);
}

void main()
{
    //foo1 tests.
    version (none) {
        bool dg1()
        {
            auto a = foo1!(int*)(); //Fails here.
            assert(a == null);
            return true;
        }
        enum a = foo1!(int*)(); //Fails
        static assert(dg1()); //Also fails.
    }

    //foo2 tests
    {
        bool dg2()
        {
            auto a = foo2!(int*)(); //OK?
            assert(a[0] == null); //Fails here ???
            return true;
        }
        enum a = foo2!(int*)(); //OK
        static assert(a[0] == null); //OK
        static assert(dg2()); //FAILS.
    }
}
//----

In this example (the "foo2" tests), we can see that "enum a = foo2!(int*)()" is
perfectly evaluated. The "static assert" afterwards proves it.

However, if these two instructions are instead evaluated with CTFE "static
assert(dg2())", then "something" will fail...

This is a horrible wrong-code bug, nothing to do with 'new'. The bug is in ==.
The pointer doesn't need to be null.
Reduced test case:

bool bug10858()
{
    int *[4] x;
    x[0] = null;
    assert(x[0] == null);
    return true;
}
static assert(bug10858());

Pointer comparison should be based on rvalues, not lvalues. That bug was also hiding three latent wrong-code bugs.
