I had that option turned on and still it listened to 0.0.0.0 for DHCP (it worked for DNS though). Also, it did not throw away the connection for DHCP, I tried send DHCP requests to the laptop from another machine on the LAN; the laptop did not throw them away. Clearly, dnsmasq doesn't always work as advertised. I do use debian/sid though so maybe a more stable version would work.
