array3 is empty. You are trying to set a value that doesn't exist..

import std.stdio;

void main(){
int[3] array1 = [ 10, 20, 30 ];
auto array2 = array1; // array2's elements are different
// from array1's
array2[0] = 11;
int[] array3;
//array4[0]=3;
array3 ~=4;
auto array4 = array3;
array4 ~=2;
int[string] a1;
int[int] a2;

a1["V"]=2;
a2[4]=3;

writeln(array1,'\n',array2,'\n',array3,'\n',array4,'\n',a1,'\n',a2);

int[] x; is like
struct _Int_Array
{
    size_t len;
    int* ptr;
}
_Int_Array y;
int i = 5;
x[i] = i; // this and the line below crash or assert, due to a null pointer
*(y.ptr +i) = 5;
are both the same;

int[int] is a completely different beast. is it a hashtable that maps ints to int.
its a lot closer to int[string] than it is to int[]
