No, that's the contrary, they reply too fast, in a sense. If you look at the log I posted, dnsmasq does receive some kind of reply from the unreachable nameservers. I don't know whether this is a crafted reply by the firewall or whether the query actually reached the nameserver but it replied with some kind of failure because the query did not come through the proper route. If you are interested, I can capture a dump of the packets the next time I'm on these networks. Anyway, as I currently understand it, all the nameservers queried by dnsmasq are replying somehow, and dnsmasq only considers the first reply. As a consequence, there is a race between the servers, so DNS resolution will succeed only if the properly routed server replies the fastest.
