This doesn't quite work for me on stable. I had to do:

opam init --no-setup --root ~/opam_unison \
--compiler ocaml-base-compiler.4.02.03

i.e. an older version of the compiler (4.09.0 doesn't seem to build on
stable, although I don't understand the error message). And then:

opam install --root ~/opam_unison unison
$(opam var --root=~/opam_unison bin)/unison

I wonder if you had the OPAM_ROOT variable set which is why it worked for
you?
