Thanks...

I have carried the discussion over to the main newsgroup:

  http://forum.dlang.org/thread/me8e0a$1kp6$1...@digitalmars.com

As I mention there, there is a workaround: Add a catch-all opCast to the 
class in question, which can simply forward to the all-powerful std.conv.to:

    T opCast(T)()
    {
        import std.conv;
        return this.to!T;
    }

Now it compiles and works as expected.
