So it seems that Main.d would have to reference symbols from each module

I found that problem, and fixed it.
Additionally, using such an approach breaks any possibility to use
incremental compilation.
It depends. If instead of a.obj, b.obj, and c.obj, think a.lib, b.lib,
c.lib, you can incrementally compile.
So there's also the option of having a .lib per
.d file and linking that all together. So I've just tried it:
dmd -c Main.d
dmd -lib Mod.d
dmd -lib Mod2.d
dmd Main.obj Mod.lib Mod2.d
... and OPTLINK crashed with the familiar MsgBox containing register
values.
Can't repro it. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with how
threading works on newer processors (mine is old).

What's your CPU?
While we're at incremental compilation, this bug:

and it's been around for a few whiles already.
Ok.
