And dnsmasq *has* been restarted to appply the changes that are in the
/etc/hosts file right?

Oh Oh Oh
Random thing that just might account for it:
Is the file hosts all in lowercase?  I'm not 100% sure but I believe the
only file that dnsmasq will read is /etc/hosts - if it's named HOSTS the
read will *not* happen.  This happened to me when I used WinSCP to shoot the
file over from my Wintel box, and never bothered to check the case of the
filename itself.
