Perhaps they are working on this. Just have a look at the latest weekly build:

You can also manually set the icon, in case you have say two sites in the same domain(i.e. your site, and then the phpMyAdmin directory) by editing opera6.adr.

#URL
ID=46
NAME=Whatever you want it to be called
URL=http://www.something.com/
VISITED=1166538128
ICONFILE=name.of.icon.in.images.dir.ico
ON PERSONALBAR=YES
PERSONALBAR_POS=0

The images directory and the opera6.adr is in the opera settings folder which is located somewhere in documents and settings on windows and ~your_home_directory/.opera for linux users.

You can use AM Deadlink software to re-download the icon and over-write.
