Where is this interface: syntax you're mentioning, anyway. The only thing I see is that you dnsmasq automatically creates a tag for you using the name of the network interface (that name being controlled by udev). This is documented:
> The tag system works as follows: For each DHCP request, dnsmasq collects a set of valid tags from active configuration lines which include set:<tag>, including one from the *dhcp-range* used to allocate the address, one from any matching *dhcp-host* (and "known" if a dhcp-host matches) The tag "bootp" is set for BOOTP requests, and a tag whose name is the name of the interface on which the request arrived is also set.
