Did dnsmasq log anything on receipt of the packet?  Does the host file in 
/opt/stack/data/neutron/dhcp/* have information for this VM?  Do you have any 
iptables rules that might be causing it?  I'm assuming the trace was taken 
inside the dhcp namespace so you know the packet got that far?

Since you can reproduce it with this one VM you can hopefully track it down, but 
there's nothing in your explanation that points at a particular issue in neutron.
