I think the change should go (if it was intentional).
IIRC, opCmp was required in D1 and older versions of D2, because hash
collisions were stored in a tree instead of a LL.
The documentation should be updated too.

Why *was* there a change to enforce that AA keys have opCmp? It doesn't
seem to me like any responses SiegeLord got were satisfactory, i.e., why
was this change made, and why was it not in the changelog?
A wild wild guess is that there was code in the compiler that used to
require it (after all, it was required a long time ago), and somehow it
got reactivated by accident.
But wild guesses don't help fix bugs :)
In doing a search through my email of the dmd-internals mailing list, I
don't see opCmp anywhere.
