Hello, 

Logging to a pipe is dangerous, because if no one reads from pipe write system call will block after internal kernel buffer is full.
If write is not non-blocking and  is not wrapped into poll/select/epoll/whatever else (Normally, log calls are blocking), the whole dnsmasq process will stuck.

You can rotate log files more often and process log file after rotation.
