All confirmed. Removing /mnt/kd/dnsmasq.conf and deleting LOCALDNS="no" from user.conf also results in DNS lookups correctly resolving. Upgrading to 3661 then worked OK - I ended up with a browser hung while trying to bring the System tab back up, but all the new firmware files were in place, and /oldroot/cdrom/os/ver had the new version. A reboot completed the upgrade successfully.
Thanks, both, for all your help today.
