digitalmars.D.learn - How to handle assert() in Windows GUI apps?

It turns out that using assert() that throws in a Windows application will show
an error such as this:

---------------------------
first.exe - Application Error
---------------------------
The instruction at "0x00411e6a" referenced memory at "0x00000044". The memory
could not be "read".
---------------------------

I'm not sure if this is a bug or expected behavior. If it's expected, isn't it
possible to reroute assert() to use a dialog box and report the failed assert
there?

Here's the code, using WindowsAPI from dsource, non-unicode mode:

In fact throwing any kind of exception gives the same error, even if I
change the exceptionHandler to not rethrow, or if I try to use show a
dialog box within exceptionHandler (it won't show up). What is going
on?
