My advice is not to wrap the virtual destructors.

Some background:
(1) support of virtual destructors in sip is about a week old (see a
recent snapshot). 
(2) sip derives interface classes from the wrapped classes; in this
scheme it is hard to see how sip can handle private virtual destructors
(but I am not the most qualified person to say so).
