The problem is that your simulator does not even reach the 
"pathological" part of D. Further that every program that uses H has the 
same problem. E.G.,
        int main()
        {
          return H(main, 0);
        }

It has no "pathological" part that does the opposite of what H returns. 
But it has the same problem that H reports that it is not halting, 
because H is trying to simulate itself.

Since the pathological part of D does not play a role in your claim, it 
is less confusing to name the problem "H simulating itself".

Yes indeed! Very clever of you!
But it is aborted! Unfortunately, one cycle too early, one cycle before 
it would see the abort of the simulated H. So, dreaming of an H that 
never aborts does not tell us anything about the H that aborts.

*And* it is H that starts new simulations of D in recursion. If the 
simulated H would halt (as required), D would return.
It is a pity for H, but it is programmed to do that (and for a 
simulator, there is probably no better way), so it will never see the 
end of its own simulation and the return to D, let alone that it would 
see the "pathological" part of D.

Because H is unable to simulate itself correctly up to its final state.
So, since we seem to agree that a correct simulation of H by H would not 
terminate, the only escape is an incorrect simulation which aborts the 
simulation.
Unfortunately, this incorrect simulation aborts one cycle too early and 
therefore misses the part where the simulated H would abort, return to 
the "pathological" part of D and D would halt.
