Since, stl_alloc holds a pointer to the real allocator, shouldn't
stl_alloc<void, ...> also have such a pointer and the appropriate
constructors?

You should partially specialize:
template<class Alloc>
class stl_alloc<void, Alloc> { ... };

Also, the typedefs and rebind template of stl_alloc<void, ...> should be 
public.

I would also ask that everything go in namespace boost::memory, rather than
directly in namespace boost.

My personal preference would be to spell out stl_allocator entirely rather
than abbreviating it to stl_alloc.
