You might have tried this, but you didn't explicitly mention it:
-5, --no-ping
(IPv4 only) By default, the DHCP server will attempt to ensure that
an address is not in use before allocating it to a host. It does this by
sending an ICMP echo request (aka "ping") to the address in question. If
it gets a reply, then the address must already be in use, and another is
tried. This flag disables this check. Use with caution.
