I am curious, though, about why the leaks only happened in when I deserialized and not in any of the other instances I created myself. Does shared_ptr perform some kind of trickery to detect the type to delete through, even when the shared_ptr is typed for the base class?

Yes. A shared_ptr captures the type to delete through when it is constructed.

Good to know. Thanks.
