It seems that the problem is that dnsmasq is forwarding DNS queries to the systemd-resolved stub server, but they are incompatible in some way:. From /var/log/syslog:

Jun 12 17:05:34 sparkly dnsmasq[1177]: using nameserver 127.0.0.53#53
Jun 12 17:05:49 sparkly dnsmasq[1177]: Maximum number of concurrent DNS queries reached (max: 150)

As a workaround, I edited /etc/dnsmasq.conf and added these lines to tell it to ignore resolve.conf and hardcoded my ISP's DNS servers instead:

no-resolv
server=75.75.75.75
server=75.75.76.76

It seems to work: I'm running a hotspot on a USB wifi device and it's working fine, and there's no sign of the CPU trouble.
