There is nothing that can be done here I am afraid. There is no way
that Opera can know what files are in the proxy cache. The browser,
the proxy and the original server are all independent. None of them
can know the state of the other without asking for the information.

This would be the case since it is how WWWOFFLE works.
You could always set 'confirm-requests = yes' in the OfflineOptions
section of the configuration file. This will mean that the images
that WWWOFFLE does not have cached will not be requested. It will
also mean that you will need to confirm the pages that you do want,
one extra ouse click each time that you want to request a page.
