Implicitly, the "no" references the answer to the question itself, hence it's still selfreferential.
In other words, the fallacy is to assume the following response was fixed to be an answer to the question. If I answered "no" it would be obvious that i wasn't planning to say "no" prior ("about") to the question. There is just no context in which the question would make sense the way you suggest. It's non-sense.
