Just like to add I see this problem too. My dnsmasq service starts as nobody maybe %20 of the time from a cold boot. And dns forwarding is broken at this time. Killing the process and restarting the service usually results in the dnsmasq service starting as "dnsmasq" like it should. But alas still no DNS forwarding and the only to get it working again is to reboot.
