as expected.
Structs are special, compare:
http://dlang.org/struct.html#struct-destructor
with:
http://dlang.org/class.html#destructors
Specifically:
"The garbage collector is not guaranteed to run the destructor for all
unreferenced objects. Furthermore, the order in which the garbage
collector calls destructors for unreference objects is not specified. This
means that when the garbage collector calls a destructor for an object of
a class that has members that are references to garbage collected objects,
those references may no longer be valid. This means that destructors
cannot reference sub objects. This rule does not apply to auto objects or
objects deleted with the DeleteExpression, as the destructor is not being
run by the garbage collector, meaning all references are valid."
