Proviso: I haven't checked if this can be classified as an Opera bug or
not.
The test case needlessly abuses floats, there is no need to float the
list items, there may also be a way to avoid floating the list. Remove
the floats on the list item, replace that with text-align and the
'problem' goes away. The list is floated to get it to shrink wrap around
the list items, that should definitely be ditched if the shrink wrapping
isn't required, and other options should be looked at if it is.
