In D1, returning nested functions from the function that defined them is undefined behavior. If you're using DMD1 and it's working, you just got lucky. The compilers could detect this better, but more generally it's a problem of escape analysis and there will always be cases where they get it wrong. But in D2, it's legal and will create a closure. If you're using DMD2, that's why it's working.
