[boost] Re: [Serialization] of pointers into a vector

This is a currently known problem with the library.  It only became
apparrent with the implementation of serialization for indexed set.

The problem arises because the objects are deserialized to a temporary
variable then moved into the collection.  So the pointers are not going to
point to objects final resting place.

In the future, I believe we will have a fix for this but for now I'm not
sure what to suggest.
