I'm tempted and will think about it.
Topic idea one: Dust off my "Functional Programming in D" [0]
talk. However, it is tight in 40 minutes for an audience, which
probably does not know D at all.
Topic idea two: A more general talk about abstractions.
Starting from the basics (procedures) up to
Design-by-Introspection techniques which are quite D specific.
In between stuff like the "magic" D Lua bindings. This topic is
probably interesting for C++ and Java programmers as well.
Other TopConf talks and thus the audience seem to be quite
mainstream.

From the fact that TopConf audience is historically quite Java /
C++ driven I think both should work. For the FD talk depending on
how deep you want to go (looking at the link I would expect it to
work out :-)).
In general both talks sound interesting, would have a hard time
decide it just now!
