This says "contact a nameserver on 127.0.0.1:1053 for unlisted / 
unknown names".

This says the system resolver client should contact a nameserver on 
127.0.0.1:53 for name resolution. In this case that nameserver would 
be dnsmasq.

This says "named listens on 127.0.0.1:1053".

No. It would not have been useful in that case, because resolver 
clients generally want to use port 53.

It was assumed, perhaps wrongly, that the dnamasq configuration 
wasn't mangled to the point of not listening on port 53. When that 
assumption is valid, this does indeed work fine.
