D - bug: duplicated constructors

This code:

class A {
        this() {}
        private:
        this() {}
        this(int b) { a=b; }
        int a;
}
void main() {
        A x=new A();
}

Gives this error: constructor this overloads A () and A () both match
argument list for this. Personally, I was expecting something like
duplicated constructor or something like that. Or at least I was expecting
it to compile just fine since one of the two constructors is private.

Right before posting I tried putting the class in a different module
(because I remembered friendship and such) and I got the same error.

There are two constructors for A with the same argument list, so it is an
error in the program.

I know it's an error in the program, but it shouldn't compile anyway. The
compiler should complain, shouldn't it?

Yes, it should.
