I'll include opposite_lane; there are enough of them. I'd probably tag the one by the Jeremy Bentham as cycleway:right=track (and indeed that is how it is tagged). You can determine its unconventional usage from the oneway tag(s), if you so wish.
I'd guess most of the cycleway=opposite_lane tags are situations where there's a contraflow lane in a one-way street. I'd probably tag that as cycleway:right=lane (+oneway:bicycle=no) myself, since otherwise you're prevented from specifying what's happening in the forward direction. But clearly cycleway=opposite_lane is still being used.
