[Dnsmasq-discuss] Strange query-ports and server options dependencies

dnsmasq 2.35:

If I specify

 query-port=53

it is no longer sufficient to specify

 server=10.240.0.254

because this yields a

 dnsmasq[28893]: ignoring nameserver 10.240.0.254 - cannot make/bind
socket: Permission denied

error.

I must then specify the server using an explicit interface IP as in

 server=10.240.0.254 at 10.240.0.1

Why is that?

If I omit the "query-port" directive the result is

 dnsmasq[28421]: using nameserver 10.240.0.254#53

so apparantly the same.
