Did you miss this bit, where dnsmasq *is* running as "nobody"?

$ sudo ps aux | grep dnsmasq | grep -v grep
nobody 3771 0.0 0.0 54552 388 ? S 18:16 0:00 /usr/sbin/dnsmasq 
--conf-file=/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/default.conf --leasefile-ro 
--dhcp-script=/usr/lib/libvirt/libvirt_leaseshelper
root 3772 0.0 0.0 54524 388 ? S 18:16 0:00 /usr/sbin/dnsmasq 
--conf-file=/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/default.conf --leasefile-ro 
--dhcp-script=/usr/lib/libvirt/libvirt_leaseshelper

Having two copies of it running doesn't seem like the correct behaviour
to me.
