should it be a compiler warning to assign a negative literal to an

Why? They implicitly convert.
int x = -1;
uint y = x;
I don't see a difference between this and your code. And we can't
change this behavior of the second line, too much arguably valid code
would break.
We can change it, and we should. But it should be deprecated properly,
and we should put in place enough candy to make it viable (See
http://forum.dlang.org/post/vbeohujwdsoqfgwqg...@forum.dlang.org ).
No, please don't. Assigning a signed value to an unsigned (and vice
versa) is very useful, and there is no good reason to break this.
