@Alkis: IIUC dnsmasq in bind-interfaces mode will not start to listen on any addresses assigned to interfaces after dnsmasq has started. So, yes, she would have to restart standalone dnsmasq if she wants it to listen on those newly assigned addresses.

IIUC the only way to avoid this is to run dnsmasq in non-bind-interfaces mode. (Simon will correct me if I'm wrong.) But that is incompatible with running nm-dnsmasq. So if you want dnsmasq in non-bind-interfaces mode you will have to disable NM's dns=dnsmasq mode.

To escape the dilemma we'd have to enhance dnsmasq and/or the resolver as we have discussed earlier.
