Ah, sorry, I'm guilty of jumping to conclusions without looking.

I'm pretty sure that the problem is the both instances of dnsmasq are 
attempting to bind the loopback interface, which is always enabled when 
using the interface= config.

The fix is to add

except-inteface=lo

to one of the config files.
