Optimiser-related bugs are very, very rare. Currently I know of only

Well, I haven't done any major D programming in a few months now; last
time I did I found these two within a very short time:
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4504
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4506
I stopped doing major D programming after that because those bugs wasted
a lot of my time.
Perhaps I should try getting back into it again :)
I know how you feel. In the space of one hour's programming today I've
hit (at least) 3 compiler bugs, 2 of which I narrowed down and reported.
I've spent at least 2 hours today wandering around in ldc and dmd
internals trying to track down issues. This isn't a one off, I hit stuff
like this all the time. I lose even more motivation when I see all the
patches in bugzilla which aren't filtering through (I know they get
there eventually, got a couple in myself, takes a good deal of time
though), so know it could be months until I get a fix.
