The compiler doesn't know that, and it isn't true in general. You could have, for example, U+3042 in your char[]. That would be encoded as three chars. It wouldn't make sense (or be correct) for val.front to yield '\xe3' (the first byte of U+3042 in UTF-8).
I just want to interject to say that the compiler understands that char[] is an array of char code units just fine. It's Phobos that has a strange interpretation of it.
