this is dhcp client configuration, not dhcp server.
iiuc it tells dhcp client not to use IP address, default route nor servers

- why do you run a DHCP client on a DHCP server then?
- Especially when you configured it statically and not to use DHCP settings?
note that this is dnsmasq list, not dhcpcd.
I really wonder why you run dhcp client in this case.

this means local clients query something running on localhost, apparently
dnsmasq.

I recomment using nameservers the DHCP server provided, not override it
unless you really know why.
As I said this *is* the DHCP server.
I don't see you mentioned this in your former e-mail.
I don't see dnsmasq configuration here.
I assume it's configured but I am not familiar to raspberry configuration...
Exactly my problem! It's an 'out of the box' installation of dnsmasq
on a Raspberry Pi that I have changed to static IP so that it can act
as my local DNS/DHCP server.
well, I again don't see if or how you configured your dnsmasq, and since I
don't own RPI, I don't know if or how is it configured by default.
Perhaps you could ask in RPI forum / mailing list?
(they should know the above)
or show us how does your dnsmasq.conf look like?
