You most likely didn't configure /opt to be a writable filesystem in that particular zone. This is the "curse of the zones": they are designed for a single person sitting behind a single system, hacking away at the keyboard. This is fine for a single system with a handful of zones, but the whole thing crumbles if the number of systems starts going into thousands... let alone if every one of those systems has more than a handful of zones (8192 per system used to be the limit). Given this situation, your scenario, forgetting to configure "just that one zone" with some detail is quite common, and already causing headaches for organizations world wide.
