I don't understand why that happens. I found one related bug:

I can understand that assignment to arr.length cannot be @nogc
but I would expect a check against length so that there would
be no allocation.
At least there are no copies and .ptr property of the array
does not change.
[Several hours later...]
You know what... I bet there is no actual allocation at all. I
think what happens is, the code calls GC.realloc(24) and
realloc() does not do anything. However, it still reports to
the profiler that there was an allocation (attempt).
Can someone verify that please. At least, can someone show
where GC.realloc() source is.
Thank you,
