Another option is to use another address in 127.0.0.0/8, any will work. You'll need dnsmasq 2.61 or later for this to be a viable option. You could have the nm-dnsmasq run with --bind-interfaces --listen-address=127.0.100.1 and put 127.0.100.1 in /etc/resolv.conf. Another instance of dnsmasq will run without interfering with that, providing only that --bind-interfaces is set.

That breaks the default bind9 and dnsmasq installations, for people that actually want to install a DNS server. Having to manually comment out "#dns=dnsmasq" in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf doesn't sound good, and if it stays that way, it should be moved to the bind9 and dnsmasq postinst scripts. Please make network-manager smarter so that it checks if bind9 or dnsmasq are installed, so that it doesn't start the local resolver in that case.
