The website does report opera 9.x as a requirement, but so far I've found nothing that doesn't work in Opera 8.x except for transparency effects, and they fail gracefully without causing any browser crashes, so I'd say the documentation is a little strict regardign compatibility. As long as you don't use opacity or use it in a non- obtrusive way then everything still works in 8.x
Regarding your specific problem, have you tried running the uncompressed version of jQuery in place of the compressed version? While it wouldn't be sensible to deploy it on a live site for obvious reasons, using the uncompressed versions for testing has huge benefits for debugging as it's a lot easier to determine where a failure occured.
