I believe this is by design. NetworkManager starts up a dnsmasq instance that then uses the DNS servers provided by the DHCP server to resolve queries. This is so that dnsmasq acts as a DNS caching application.

If you run tcpdump or wireshark to log DNS queries made, you should see that the DNS servers provided by the DHCP server are used.
