Looks like it is the other way around.
I am using an older version of FreeBSD and it does send those packates because I
see them with Wireshark.

Recall some operating systems like FreeBSD do not do DHCP again when net
booting, bu

The design is that dnsmasq sends the options expected by a PXE client if
it's acting as a proxy (because the whole proxy thing is part of the PXE

It seems that present dnsmasq adds only vendor-specific option when it operates
on the proxy mode.
E.g., with a config that has
dhcp-range=192.168.0.88,proxy,255.255.255.0
dhcp-option=vendor:PXEClient,6,2b
dnsmasq adds option 43, suboption 6 to its responses.
