This API comes from 14ba97f8 (alloc: allow arbitrary repositories for alloc functions, 2018-05-15). The pointer returned by allocate_alloc_state points to an initialized, usable object so returning a struct instead of a void pointer is the right thing to do. Thanks for noticing and fixing it. That commit in turn was probably inspired by v1.5.2-rc0~16^2 (Clean up object creation to use more common code, 2007-04-16), which was following the same convention (void * for raw memory, struct blob * for initialized object).
