Yes, D is reported as the cause. It is simply because the logic in IncompleteDeployments.calculateContextsError removes any context that has missing dependencies as root causes. This ultimately leaves D which has no dependencies. In reality D should not be in the missing dependency list, but because the resolution was stopped as soon as the first unresolved dependency was seen it does.
