Why Ajax request, using the GET method, cannot be cached in Opera?

Why Ajax request, using the GET method, cannot be cached in Opera?

Please look at this small test:

It seems that Opera (mine is 10.10), in contrast to IE, FF, GC, and Safari, is not caching the ajax response, even if it is explicitly told to do that. Any ideas?
