"Belgium" stays in the United Netherlands in the first place: Leopold accepts Greece for want of that preferable alternative.If Leopold becoimes king of Greece... who rules Belgium?

Not having the English prefered candidate on the Belgian throne, could lead to a different diplomatic standpoint of Britain, since it could mean a French candidate. This could lead to a different political situation in the Netherlands. Mind you, no Belgium is not the most likely outcome. Not that it realy matters for the POD. There are enough possibilities for Leopold to become king of Greece instead of Belgium (different king for Belgium, no belgian revolution, defeated belgian revolution, France anexes or devides Belgium, Belgium becomes a republic, Belgium turns out to be made up by an English crime novelist).Why it would? Independent Belgium not be impossible without Leopold. There would be just some another house on Belgian throne.
