Could be this point apparently during semantic analysis:


https://github.com/dlang/dmd/blob/4e35f945e3245467c7ae0abe60fc3ec896c8b45f/src/dmd/semantic2.d#L576

private extern(C++) final class Semantic2Visitor : Visitor
{
    // ...

    override void visit(AggregateDeclaration ad)
    {
        //printf("AggregateDeclaration::semantic2(%s) type = %s, errors 
= %d\n", ad.toChars(), ad.type.toChars(), ad.errors);
        if (!ad.members)
            return;

        if (ad._scope)
        {
            ad.error("has forward references");
            return;
        }

        // ...
    }
}

Does that mean that the scope pointer is already set when this 
AggregateDeclaration is being visited? If it's a bug, perhaps someone 
can think of a way of reproducing it.
