It is part of the .init, so the compiler would set it BEFORE calling the constructor. constructor can then call each other and rely on the fact that the vtable is initialized.
We were discussing the cost if doing it like c++, where virtual calls during construction acts as if the object isn't subclassed. That way all object local member function calls can be devirtualized and inlined. In D we have to use the init method you mention.
