Nope. Private ctors have to be called from within the same module,
whether implicit or not:
test.d:

}
import test;
class Bar : Foo

this() { }

void main()

auto bar = new Bar();

Hm... that makes sense.
You can try mucking around with roll-your-own construction. That is,
ignore the constructor and use a mixture of public final initialize
functions + protected virtual initialize functions.
It might just be something that you have to accept is not definable by the
base class :(
C++ requires construction of base classes before the main body of a
derived constructor is called. And that has its own problems too...
