I'm not entirely sure, but I think opera loads /etc/hosts into memory at
start, and never reads it again.  Sometimes it seems to check the
nameserver first, and -then- /etc/hosts, but usually it seems to check
/etc/hosts first.  I'm really unsure on what opera's logic concerning it
is, and it seems like opera is doing all the dirty work on its own.
