This works fine with dmd v1.069:
---
const staticArray = "abc";

void main() {
    static dynamicArray = staticArray ~ "d"; //corrupts staticArray
    pragma(msg, typeof(staticArray)); //char[3u]
    pragma(msg, typeof(dynamicArray)); //char[]
    static assert(staticArray == "abc");
    assert(staticArray != "abc");
    assert(staticArray == [cast(char)3, 0, 0]);
}
