The ISC DHCP server handles subnet overlaps just fine without the relay 
agent sending a subnet mask.   Bernie's point about which configuration 
you trust is the correct rebuttal to this whole line of reasoning, I 
think.   It would actually be harmful to send a subnet mask in the 
subnet selection option.
