Happens if only Opera is opened. Win 8.1x64. Also, I can't remember such behavior in 51(recently I upgraded 51 to 54 on one PC)

That is, if your wallpaper is simply an image (not some HTML file or animation) then I can't imagine why they should care what it is.

Intel Graphics here with default Win10 wallpaper (just in case it makes a difference).

Perhaps related to accelerated graphics on certain hardware, then - I have AMD/ATI graphics here ...

Good odds that the desktop shortcut (and other shortcuts for that matter) do not have the same effect, as the taskbar icon is special. I'll test it shortly though.

If so, I can't confirm, but some users have had this issue for years.
