I found a solution on stackoverflow thanks to @kbenoit there.

This is not really a bug at all. You just have to configure stuff under /etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.d instead, e.g.,

    # echo "addn-hosts=/etc/hosts" > /etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.d/hosts.conf
    # service network-manager restart

I will point out the following statement from the networkmanager.conf man page ON THE GNOME WEBSITE (not on the ubuntu 16.04 man page):

It is possible to pass custom options to the dnsmasq instance by adding them to files in the "/etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.d/" directory.

Add any options you want.
