Perhaps these pages are being blocked unintentionally; see  
<URL:http://andrewu.co.uk/webtech/archive/?operas_blocked_content_feature_a_mixed_blessing>  
and <URL:http://help.opera.com/Windows/9.00/en/contentblock.html> for more  
detail.

It is also possible, but less likely, that some custom user JavaScript is  
causing these failures.
