The issue seems to be that with its current configuration (and including "bind-interfaces", and "except-interface=lo"), dnsmasq tries to update DNS via resolvconf which adds a file under /run/resolvconf/interface/lo.dnsmasq.

That file contains 'nameserver 127.0.0.1', which is absolutely incorrect given the configuration, at least because of except-interface.

This nameserver configuration in resolvconf appears to take precedence over the NetworkManager provided configuration (nameserver 127.0.1.1) also running dnsmasq.
