I think this may be a valid bug report, unless I'm misunderstanding things:

-----
class C { }

template TemplAlias1(
    alias x = C  // default
) { }

template TemplAlias2(
    alias x : C  // specialization
) { }

template TemplAlias2(
    alias x : C = C  // default = C, specializes to C
) { }

void main()
{
    alias a = TemplAlias1!();
    alias b = TemplAlias2!(C);
    alias b = TemplAlias3!();
}

$ dmd test.d
 test.d(12): Error: Cannot interpret C at compile time
