Note that "is_abstract" has had sort of history regarding serialization.

Speaking from memory, boost::serialization::is_abstract punts to the
official boost::is_abstract on platforms which support it and defaults
to false on platforms that don't.  This was arrived at in sort of
an ad hoc fashion so it may be that there is something to be fixed there.

Good Luck with this.

p.s. any chance of getting a business trip to the south pole out of this?
