Looks pretty good to me.  I've enclosed a few differences:

1.  I tried to verify that those traits that do work in C++03 mode still worked.  But I've let the '03 test suite deteriorate to the point that I was getting too many errors in '03 mode to see what had changed.  So I took this opportunity to first make meta test cleanly in '03 mode.

2.  To get your patch to test cleanly in C++03 mode I had to wrap static_assert in some irritating '()', and emulate variadics in a couple of tests.

3.  I removed 'const' from the size_t in both aligned_storage and aligned_storage_t.  That was just a latent bug and this was a good opportunity to clean that up.

4.  I removed typename from several of the new tests.  The typename didn't hurt, but it was nice to see that it is no longer needed with these new aliases.

You did a nice job with the updated comments, the macro protection and the c++1y protection.  I couldn't find anything else to whine about. :-)  Oh, I did remove section numbers from the comment section.  They get outdated really quickly and become impossible to keep correct.
