The only place I know of offhand where MediaWiki does UA checking is in skins/common/wikibits.js.
All I know is that Opera is at least mentioned in at least $ find *|egrep -v \.svn|Messages|xargs grep -li '\bopera[^a-z]' HISTORY includes/Title.php skins/monobook/Opera6Fixes.css skins/monobook/Opera7Fixes.css skins/monobook/rtl.css skins/common/mwsuggest.js skins/common/diff.js skins/common/edit.js skins/common/wikibits.js skins/common/sticky.js skins/common/feed.css skins/simple/rtl.css Searching for "MSIE" finds even more. https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16257#c1 is my attempt to stem the tide.
