Given code below:
import std.stdio;

struct Annotation {
    public int delegate(int) dg;
}

void main() {
        import std.traits;
        
        __traits(getAttributes, Cls)[0].dg(20).writeln;
}

@Annotation(delegate int(int d) {
    return d;
})
class Cls {

    void method() {

    }
}

Dmd will complain with following statement for the delegate passed in annotation: src/app.d(13,13): Error: delegate app.__dgliteral6 is a nested function and cannot be accessed from D main.

GDC will just throw internal compiler exception:
src/app.d: In function ‘D main’:
src/app.d:20:2: internal compiler error: in get_frame_for_symbol, at d/d-codegen.cc:3981
  __traits(getAttributes, Cls)[0].dg(20).writeln;
  ^

LDC will not argue, and compile it flawlessly, and return 20 as expected.

So the question, is the dmd error correct behavior?
If so, how the delegate is nested, and what is context that it is nested in?

DMD version is: v2.072.1
LDC version is: v1.1.0 based on v2.071.2 and LLVM 3.8.1
GDC version is: 6.2.1 20161215
