I don't understand why this code doesn't compile:

equivalent to immutable(ubyte[]). You can't overwrite immutable
data, hence the error.
Then
Foo1 foo1; foo1 = Foo1(); // compiles
shouldn't compile either.
Good point. That's an accepts-invalid IMO.
Nonetheless:
union { string a; immutable ubyte[] b; }
is broken, it is effectively casting away immutability.
union { string a; immutable(ubyte)[] b; } is the correct approach.
