Both ways are specific. The multiple A record response would
give a separate address for each corresponding list. The
bitmasked response has a distinct bit set in the returned
address for each list. A 3 means bits 1 and 2 are set,
corresponding to those the lists in the 1 and 2 positions.
Its true that the bitmask approach gives only 1 query result,
even for inclusion in multiple lists though.

I assume you're referring to how the client handles the
multiple or bitmasked responses.
