The fact that every object has a monitor associated with it was a mistake in Java, and was unfortunately copied in .NET. This promotes the bad practice of locking on "this" and on types - both of which are typically publicly accessible references. I believe that unless a reference is exposed explicitly for the purpose of locking (like ICollection.SyncRoot) then you should avoid locking on any reference which other code knows about.

This has been discussed multiple times on the D forum, I believe.

Do you mean Monitor or all other issues from that post as well? Do you have any links? I would be interested to know conclusions.
