This is an issue that pertains to how your device is identified by the site. With custom ROM's your device is not recognized by some websites. When this happens it will not show flash pages. This has been an ongoing deal. For example, mobile MSN has a videos section, on Sprint stock ROM, the video section is supported, on Custom ROM, it is not.
It is likely not related to the Opera build but rather the custom User Agent that Sprint uses so that it's websites recognize that you are on their network. Here is a look at the default HTC User Agent:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Prefs\User Prefs]
"Custom User-Agent"="Opera/9.7 (WindowsMobile; PPC; Opera Mobi/35267; U; en; Presto/2.1.1)"
Here is Sprint's:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Prefs\User Prefs]
"Custom User-Agent"="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows CE; IEMobile 8.12; MSIEMobile6.0) Sprint T7380"
Hope this helps somewhat.
