I can't reproduce that behaviour.
The only name that resolves is the last one given, hyphen or not, just
as Reynir observed.

I therefore wonder whether there are additional definitions for nas or

That is possible by using a combination of dhcp-hosts and cname aliases,
just as dnsmasq's documentation recommends.
Did you give my sample suggestion from my previous post a try yet?
