It sounds more likely that Opera simply isn't giving all the information it 
should when uploading the file to the validator - that is it's not telling 
the validator about the character encoding of the file.  You can actually 
specify the character encoding in the document itself, which may  get round 
the problem.  It does sound sort of like the problem is Opera however and you 
should just press on with firefox.
