Comment (by anonymous):

 This last one is easy.

 The base class serialization has two functions.  First it invokes
 void_cast_register to maintain the list hierarchy of base/derived classes
 and second, it invokes the serialization of the base class.  One can
 invoke void_cast_register directly so the chain of serialization to base
 classes is broken.  At least one of the tests does this for some reason
 that I don't remember.  Actually I do believe it was related to shared_ptr
 serialization.
