Yes, the server 2.9.2 is little different from earlier in that sense.
In some 2.9.1 patches the logic was like you describe above. But it
was found to have a flaw. Some people reported negative oper count
in /lusers after splits.
Between servers oper status is passed as mode 'o'. Yes, that's a
lower case o. So it's protocol-wise better to keep the little 'o'
for global opers in every occurrence, and use the big O locally
in the server for local opers.
It's still open case whether we should change the o/O in ircd.conf
too in order to reach compability in server local configurations
too.

Test it with local oper, you'll find out they see "(O)". Thus it
still adds some information.
