Well, I've checked what my local dnsmasq does and it's doing precisely
what you say:
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:53                0.0.0.0:*                   LISTEN      29426/dnsmasq       
tcp        0      0 192.168.122.1:53            0.0.0.0:*                   LISTEN      29426/dnsmasq       
tcp        0      0 ::1:53                      :::*                        LISTEN      29426/dnsmasq       
tcp        0      0 fe80::4c03:d0ff:fec2:aa7:53 :::*                        LISTEN      29426/dnsmasq

In other words, dual-socket won't make dual-stack for selected interface
possible without implementing

anyway. :(
