Comment (by jeffrey.hellrung):

 The immediate problem actually appears to lie in boost::pointee, so one
 can partially specialize boost::pointee for pointer types to avoid
 instantiating is_incrementable. However, after doing this, a new problem
 arises with instantiating boost::is_POD on the value_type of the
 indirect_iterator (which, in this case, is Derived) during determination
 of the return type of operator[]. So, a possible resolution for your
 specific example would be to disable operator[] when the traversal of the
 underlying iterator is not random access. I'll see what I can do to effect
 this.
