As I understand it, all the time return one object
But:

auto m = new Mutex();
writeln(&m);
auto m1 = new Mutex();
writeln(&m1);

That's the address of the local variable. The object it points to 
is somewhere else.

An Object in D is more like an Object* in C++.

Object* o = new Object();
&o == 0
o == 1

o = new Object();
&o == 0 // the local variable is still in the same place
o == 2 // but it now points to a new object

Use writeln(cast(void*)m) to get the address of the object, otherwise
you're writing the address of the reference (which each time refers to
a different object).
