digitalmars.D.learn - Module-level private not honored?

Do I understand module level access rights correctly, or is there a dmd bug?

Instead of coming up with an example, I will use a Phobos class: 
std.demangle.MangleException is private in its module; yet I can use it 
in my program:

import std.demangle;

void main()
{
     auto me = new MangleException;
}
