No mention of the interfaces it binds to and how? No functional
equivalent to the interface-related options of dnsmasq?

Thanks. The captures are identical except for obvious differences like
transaction numbers or checksums, which have no influence on acceptance
or rejection of a DHCP request.

Which seems to imply that dnsmasq makes the difference based on the
interface it receives the request on -- hence my asking how ISC dhcp
chooses the interfaces it listens to... and how dnsmasq does it.

You might want to check whether the bridge is brought up before or
after dnsmasq is started. Also, try combinations of interface= and
bind-interfaces. Also, checkout bridge-interface= if it is available in
your version of dnsmasq.
