There's other probably far simpler (and safer) workarounds. What's your configuration for the dnsmasq like?

Upstream mentions some configurations at the dnsmasq level that are very relevant for this particular case:

in /etc/dnsmasq.conf:

#except-interface=
# Or which to listen on by address (remember to include 127.0.0.1 if
# you use this.)
#listen-address=

The problem is that listen-address probably shouldn't contain 127.0.0.1 if dnsmasq is meant to be used to resolve things for ltsp clients; also, except-interface=lo may be a good idea here to avoid listening on the loopback interface. That way both instances should start fine.
