MPI transmission of unknown sub-class with boost::mpi::packed_oarchive and packed_iarchive

I am trying to transmit a class of of unknown subclass, but known base class.

I believe this should be possible using boost::serialization, BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT_GUID and boost::mpi, but I'm pretty new to C++ in general

This is the code that I have:

#include <boost/mpi.hpp>
#include <boost/mpi/environment.hpp>
#include <boost/mpi/communicator.hpp>
#include <boost/serialization/string.hpp>
#include <boost/serialization/serialization.hpp>
#include <boost/serialization/export.hpp>
#include <boost/serialization/vector.hpp>
#include <iostream>

namespace mpi = boost::mpi;


class Action {
protected:
    int start_rank;
    std::string greeting;

    Action(std::string greeting) {
        mpi::communicator world;
        this->start_rank = world.rank();
        this->greeting = greeting;
    };

private:

    friend class boost::serialization::access;
    template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive &ar, const unsigned int version) {
        ar & this->start_rank;
        ar & this->greeting;
    };

public:

    Action() = default;

    void invoke() {
        mpi::communicator world;
        std::cout << this->greeting << "! I am process " << world.rank() << " of " << world.size()
            << ". I was created on " << this->start_rank << "." << std::endl;
    };
};


class HelloAction : public Action {

public:
    HelloAction() : Action("Hello") {};

};

class GoodByeAction : public Action {

public:
    GoodByeAction() : Action("Good bye") {};

};

BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT_GUID(Action, "Action");
BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT_GUID(HelloAction, "HelloAction");
BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT_GUID(GoodByeAction, "GoodByeAction");

int main() {
    mpi::environment env;
    mpi::communicator world;

    HelloAction *hello = new HelloAction();
    mpi::broadcast(world, hello, 0);
    hello->invoke();

    GoodByeAction *bye = new GoodByeAction();
    mpi::broadcast(world, bye, 1);
    bye->invoke();

    world.barrier();

    if (world.rank() == 0) {
        std::cout << "sending unknown action classes!" << std::endl;
        HelloAction *yup = new HelloAction();
        boost::mpi::packed_oarchive oar(world);
        oar << yup;
    }
    else {
        std::cout << "receiving unknown action classes!" << std::endl;
        Action *action = NULL;
        boost::mpi::packed_iarchive iar(world);
        iar >> action;
        action->invoke();
    }

    return 0;
}

compiling/running with:

mpic++ -g -std=c++1y hello.cpp -lboost_serialization -lmpi -lboost_mpi
mpiexec -np 2 ./a.out

This seems to run just fine:

Hello! I am process 0 of 2. I was created on 0.
Hello! I am process 1 of 2. I was created on 0.
Good bye! I am process 1 of 2. I was created on 1.
Good bye! I am process 0 of 2. I was created on 1.

... until getting to the "sending/receiving of unknown action classes", where I get runtime errors:

receiving unknown action classes!
sending unknown action classes!

Questions:

1. Although the question is tagged with boost, should it be possible to transmit an unknown subclass at all with or without boost? I understand I could have a registration of sorts by string name, and an inversion of control guy to handle creation, but I thought that was the intent of BOOST_CLASS_EXPORT_GUID.
2. Is there a way to make this work with what I have?
3. Is there a reasonably easy alternative (not using boost) to make this work with regular ol' MPI?
