Comment (by igaztanaga):

 boost::interprocess:unique_ptr was never designed for this use case, at
 least, not on purpose. It was designed to be nearly-standard compatible
 and compatible with managed_unique_ptr, which defines a deleter with a
 pointer typedef, defining a smart pointer to the element_type. Couldn't a
 new unique_ptrdeleter that derives from your deleter and defines pointer
 to be a pointer to T, solve the issue?
