I just figured it didn't work in general, but seems to be an

Oh, it is because of the implicit construction thing, see my
answer here to learn more:

You can construct the named tuple from a tuple() but you can't
convert one to another since the names change the type.
I don't think the language has a solution with this since you
can't implicit construct nor overload operators on built in
arrays (if it is a custom array, you can do an opOpAssign).
What you could do is
alias ShortName = Tuple!(int, "A");
ShortName[] a;
a ~= ShortName(3);
... of course, at that point, you can also just use a regular
struct too...
