Woops, looks like that slipped by. These patches will fix it:

http://cvs.horde.org/diff.php/imp/Attic/message.php3?
r1=2.23.2.67&r2=2.23.2.68&f=u

http://cvs.horde.org/diff.php/imp/lib/Attic/mimetypes.lib?
r1=1.8.2.30&r2=1.8.2.31&f=u

Nope. 5.5 is well and truly broken.

Sounds like Opera is broken. My wild guess is that they decided to go beyond 
making the value of a file upload form read-only, and made it simply not there. 
But I'll have to get opera at some point to have a better idea.
