What's really important is how many *severe* bugs there are, i.e. bugs that really have a major effect on the usability of the language. There are a few features, such as array ops and alias this, where DMD is buggy enough that these features are practically useless. On the other hand, I don't get too mad about this because these are features that most other languages just plain don't have, and the situation is continually and rapidly improving (thanks to Walter and Don). Even if the *total* bug count is going up, IMHO the *severe* bug count is going down.
