I think we're talking about serializing through a pointer to an abstract base
class.

Boost serialization supports - through the "register type" and/or "export"
functionality.
You'll have to look at the documentation.

when serialization is restoring objects through the abstract pointer, /it/ 
thinks it is responsible for instantiating all classes, including the 
derived classes.

do end up with /two/ instances of the private implementation class, one of 
which is just hanging in mid-air?

Not if you do it as described in the documantion and tests.
