OK, I just attempted to reproduce this and it's working for me, but with 
a much earlier kernel.

Are you seeing DHCP requests via tcpdump? Does dnsmasq log anything, 
even if it doesn't send a reply packet?

Could you try attaching strace to the dnsmasq process with strace -p. 
and see what system calls it's making in response to the DHCP requests?


Cheers,
