I'm doind the same thing (running local cache) and NM works just fine.
You should be setting NM to use the "DHCP (addresses only)" as in this
image: http://img.nux.ro/4PsJ-dhcpnmlocaldns.png
Put the upstream resolvers in some other file, e.g. /etc/nameservers
and tell dnsmasq to get it's nameservers from there.
Or just run a full fledge nameserver yourself and get rid of dnsmasq (I
use pdns-recursor).
