I know Bahamut has the +O mode too. On my network we don't have local 
opers, so I haven't tried getting around it. I am guessing it would 
suffer from the same problem, though.

The only way to deal with it would be for the local IRC server to kick 
out any non-opers when the modes were resynched - it shouldn't be up to 
services.

This is how the local oper has been working, since opers were first 
added to the ircd. It's nothing new to Unreal.
