Walter Bright:

D can't give an error in that case because it's a big breaking 
change. So is D in that case just
silently not performing the tail call as the programmer meant?

That's right.

Then this feature needs a specific and explicit syntax, or it has 
_no_ point at all.
(Note: I am currently not asking for this feature in D. I have 
just shown one of its minimal requirements).
