Would be good to special-case this one, in module.c:
----
void Module::read(Loc loc)
{
    //printf("Module::read('%s') file '%s'\n", toChars(), srcfile->toChars());
    if (srcfile->read())
    {   error(loc, "is in file '%s' which cannot be read", srcfile->toChars());

----
If srcfile == "object.d", it means there's a problem with the installation.
Instead of the generic message, we could print something like,

error(loc, "cannot find source code for runtime library file 'object.d');
errorSupplemental("dmd is not correctly installed. Paths in configuration file
'dmd.conf' may be incorrect.");

This would help make D more newbie-friendly.
