As of NM 0.9.6, you should be able to drop your own configuration
into /etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.d which then dnsmasq will pick up and
merge into your configuration.  Are you able to test that out and see if
it works for you?

Also, /etc/hosts should still be read by glibc's resolver no matter
what; does your /etc/hosts file contain any lines for 127.0.0.1, and if
so, what are they?  If there aren't any lines, then you should add them;
something has removed them and that's a problem.
