I agree with you that the JavaScript rewrites could cause trouble, though I would like to believe this is more benign (like the Firefox document.all fix) but who knows.

Opera also has a User JavaScript feature which is exactly the same as Greasemonkey except in name, and I'm not bothered about that at all - power to the people! In this instance Opera are hacking fixes for non-compliant sites and pushing them out to all users of Opera whether they ask for them or not. This is almost the antithesis of evangelism, and it concerns me greatly. How long before web developers start creating hacks to prevent the Opera hacks?
