Not exactly sure why this is being caused, but I don't think it should be a linker problem. I get this linker error:

Error 42: Symbol Undefined _D4test6second1t12__ModuleInfoZ 

I've tried to narrow it down as much as possible. Removing any import from any file in import/source/test/ seems to fix the issue.

ModuleInfo is used to detect cyclic detection, so importing is creating a reference to a ModuleInfo instance that simply hasn't been linked in.
