Everything's fine if I specify parameters explicitly:

test!int hello = test!int(cptr);

Some persons have proposed alternative designs, but D is working as
currently designed here... Unlike template functions, templated structs
don't infer the type.

Thx, is there any good rationale?
There really isn't. I have created an enhancement request that you might
be interested in voting for.

Note that auto is your friend here to avoid the dual-specification of the
template:
auto hello = test!int(cptr);
And you can always create a wrapper function:
test!T mktest(T)(T *ptr) { return test!T(ptr);}
...
auto hello = mktest(cptr); // no explicit instantiation required
