The following code should raise an out of bounds error:

import std.stdio;

void main() {
   double[] c;
   c[] = 4;
}

Maybe I'm missing something, but no it should not.
"c[] = 4;" just sets every array element to 4, and it works even if there are 0
array elements.

Yes. Some related situations are definitely bugs though. Perhaps this one
should be marked as a duplicate of bug 2547.

This is not a bug, I think this can be closed.

But isn't there a difference between arrays that had all of their elements
removed and arrays that have not yet been allocated in the first place? 

I filed it since Walter seems to have confirmed this:

Actually I think I'm confusing myself with how dynamic allocation works. I
thought the dynamic array always have to be called with new, but it appears I
can change the length of an array without calling new in the first place, e.g.:

    int[] a;
    a.length = 4;
    a[] = 4;
    writeln(a);   // writes 4 4 4 4

So this should probably get closed. Sorry for the confusion.
