Obviously, the conversion does happen implicitly, otherwise 'new A!1' wouldn't compile (A expects a uint as parameter). But then, why are A!1 and A!1u different types?
Because of a compiler bug, and contrary to the other answers, implicit conversion stuff is not (primarily) to blame here. I also hit it before, but never really had time to track it down. Sometimes (but I never really found out when), it also occurs if you are only using the »right« literals and use casts all over the place – see e.g. https://github.com/klickverbot/phobos/blob/units/std/units.d#L1913.
