There is no guarantee that you can build containers of incomplete types 
with any allocator type. The allocator might need to instantiate the 
type (say, because it uses sizeof(T) to calculate some compile-time 
internal static constants).

Nevertheless, I would like to see if this is possible for 
Boost.Container and some basic Boost.Interprocess allocators. Can you 
please fill a bug on the track so that this issue is not forgotten?

Best,
