I think so as well. It may create issues when someone runs 2 dnsmasq processes with different configurations (for different interfaces for example - 1 dnsmasq process per interface). Kernel may "balance" incoming UDP packets to another dnsmasq instance (which AFAIR will just ignore it), so there will be more retries in general for DHCP traffic.
