I suppose it's because enums are manifest constants: the value they
represent is 'copy-pasted' anew everywhere it appears in the code. So
for arrays and associative arrays, it means recreating a new value
each and every time.
In your case, your code is equivalent to:
assert (!sameTail(DataAndView(1).data,DataAndView(1).view));
And the two DataAndView(1), being completely separated, do not have
the same tail.
Yes, this should work (and execute the initializer at compile time):
static b = ...
