This makes me think of something Endou Aya said in an interview on the official site. She said that the main cast -- except for her -- were making a lot of ad libs. Maybe this was one of them? I've extracted some more things from her little interview and have posted them in the Voice Actor thread, as well as
in my blog.
And Kaioshin, I "get it" why you and Vexx object to the varying styles. I just don't feel the same way. But your suggestion about male-female is interesting. And the Kona-chan quote above is interesting, too. Maybe Aya herself said: "I'd like to do that one straight," and the director said: "okay," just ignoring any inconsistency it might give rise to.
I do think it's cool that we can have such a long discussion about this point. Quite an anime. I credit the original director with these innovations -- such as the ED that isn't an ED. He hits with some, he misses with others, but it's all interesting.
