I hadn't actually tried using the opt-out, but I did think it was impossible for it to work as described. I tried it just now, and it just replaces the ads with a 404. So it would be more correct to say "There is no opt-out for the DNS hijacking."

Sure there's an opt-out -- don't use their DNS servers. Throw Google's or OpenDNS's into your device's settings.

I guess. It looks like I need to jailbreak my phone to change the DNS server, so if I get around to it I can opt out. It will work as long as the DNS hijacking just returns incorrect results from T-Mobile's DNS server, rather than replacing any NXDOMAIN response from any DNS server.
