It seems to me that dnsmasq should filter out loopback addresses for DNS queries universally, or at least provide such an option.
Consider such a scenario, dnsmasq runs on host1, and host1's /etc/hosts contains 127.0.1.1 host1, which is usually the case. A second machine host2 queries dnsmasq for host1, and would get 127.0.1.1, which is also a valid IP address, except it goes to host2. I do not see any any scenario where dnsmasq should return a loopback address.
