Details - In OpenWrt trunk, the file package/network/services/dnsmasq/files/rfc6761.conf was added in commit 3a06dd60eba362df90705315bbbddced39566a2e to exclude some queries from being forwarded, it includes the lines:

server=/example/
server=/example.com/
server=/example.org/
server=/example.net/


[[https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6761#section-6.5|Section 6.5 of the RFC]] suggests these shouldn't be excluded from forwarding:
   3.  Name resolution APIs and libraries SHOULD NOT recognize example
       names as special and SHOULD NOT treat them differently.  Name
       resolution APIs SHOULD send queries for example names to their
       configured caching DNS server(s).

   4.  Caching DNS servers SHOULD NOT recognize example names as special
       and SHOULD resolve them normally.

   5.  Authoritative DNS servers SHOULD NOT recognize example names as
       special.
