----------
After a little more investigation, this is definitely a bug that also exists in the latest lede/master which uses dnsmasq-2.77test5. It is easily triggered via a common mozilla DNS query, and appears related to using split DNS and DNSSEC.

A minimal, standalone dnsmasq.conf that is vulnerable:
listen-address=192.168.1.1
port=55553
bind-interfaces
no-daemon
no-hosts
no-resolv
log-queries=extra
server=8.8.8.8
server=/cloudfront.net/50.22.147.234
dnssec
dnssec-check-unsigned
trust-anchor=.,19036,8,2,49AAC11D7B6F6446702E54A1607371607A1A41855200FD2CE1CDDE32F24E8FB5
trust-anchor=.,20326,8,2,E06D44B80B8F1D39A95C0B0D7C65D08458E880409BBC683457104237C7F8EC8D


Removing either of these config lines results in no SIGSEGV:
server=/cloudfront.net/50.22.147.234
dnssec-check-unsigned

The bug can be triggered from a DNS client simply (e.g.a blank Firefox page!):
ubuntu$ nslookup -port=55553 tiles-cloudfront.cdn.mozilla.net 192.168.1.1
;; Question section mismatch: got cloudfront.net/DS/IN
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached


I also captured a dnsmasq core file from my router and ran it through gdb:
ubuntu$ ./staging_dir/toolchain-mips_24kc_gcc-5.4.0_musl-1.1.16/bin/mips-openwrt-linux-gdb -d ./build_dir/target-mips_24kc_musl-1.1.16/dnsmasq-full/dnsmasq-2.77test5/src/ -n ./staging_dir/target-mips_24kc_musl-1.1.16/root-ar71xx/usr/sbin/dnsmasq dnsmasq.757.11.1494218146.core

The dnsmasq config file, log file, and client log are attached. I'm not sure I can go any further, so would appreciate the dnsmasq package maintainer taking a look and advising.

Thanks!
