The posted console output linked identifies the following things:

The dnsmasq in your path is in /usr/local/sbin/dnsmasq.

That binary is compiled with a git revision with filter support.

Calling dnsmasq from the path with no command line parameters loads the config located at /etc/dnsmasq.conf rather than /usr/local/etc/dnsmasq.conf

Starting dnsmasq from the service command results with an error message about a different line number for the exact same config file, likely because the service script is running a different binary (the one from the package that installed the service script).  The service script may break (to prove its running the wrong binary) if you sudo mv /usr/sbin/dnsmasq /usr/sbin/dnsmasq-package

Relying on the path may be causing some confusion, as well as using configuration files from different versions of dnsmasq.

To show what’s on line 12:

sed '12!d' /etc/dnsmasq.conf

To show what’s on line 24:
sed ‘24!d' /etc/dnsmasq.conf

Hoping this helps the conversation become more productive.
