I highly recommend using DVM [1] to install multiple versions of DMD. It allows to use different versions in different terminal sessions at the same time. It's also cross-platform.

FWIW alternatively the official install script also supports multiple versions out of the box:

Jacob, Seb - Thanks for the info. I was unaware of these capabilities. I chose the approach I used as an alternative to the OS X dmg-based installer (installs to a system wide location.)

That these facilities is exist is orthogonal to the bug though. dmd has for quite a while been able to find files in its bin directory, even if launched through a symlink.
