This one I don't understand, in:

  void wchar_from_mb<Base>::drain(),

the assertion:

     BOOST_ASSERT(std::codecvt_base::ok == r);

Fails as the result of the conversion is "partial".

With regard to the dll build issue: there are a whole bunch of files 
where you include #include <boost/serialization/config.hpp> *before* 
setting BOOST_SERIALIZATION_SOURCE.  As a result 
BOOST_SERIALIZATION_DECL is set to dllimport before 
BOOST_SERIALIZATION_SOURCE is ever defined.  You need to make sure 
#define BOOST_SERIALIZATION_SOURCE is right at the top of all the source 
files - before any #includes.

HTH, John.
