I guess what is weird in this entire thing is it sounds like you're
shifting over to what appears to be OPROM boot code in a network interface

would be the needful item to troubleshoot further.

Are you able to extract the exact command line which is being passed to the
dnsmasq process for that container launch?

I guess I'm worried if somehow dnsmasq changed or if an old version is
somehow in the container image you're using.
