I'm not seeing the Eva reference here...

I'm not sure, but I still think the random applause ending is a reference to the original ending of the series.

Ya...me2.

maybe someone thinks dark kos-mos's headgear is some kind of evangelion reference, or that she's supposed to me some kind of unit-00 mecha musume...

No, I assumed that the random applause ending was a reference to how the original NGE series ended when I tagged it. Considering what a huge NGE fanboy choco is, I think this is a logical explanation. It makes no sense in the context of Xenosaga.

Someone nice voted my earlier comment where I explained this down.
