But one cannot freely assign anywhere in x:

x[3,6] = 4 crashes.

I, can, of course, convert everything to a linear matrix and index by
i+w*j, but what's the point of having multidimensional matrices in D if
they don't allocate them fully?

It does allocate them fully, you're indexing them wrong.

void main() {
        auto x = new int[][](1, 2);
        x[0][1] = 3;    
}
