On Diva as priestess:
I think it is implied throughout the series that the Bugrom have been bitter enemeys of the humans for generations. This makes it unlikely that the Muldoon Priestesses would have a Bugrom member in living memory. However there is a way around this.
In the third OAV it is made quite clear that Diva isn't just Queen of the Bugrom in the political sense, but is Queen in the biological sense of a hive queen and gives birth to all the other Bugrom. It's also apparent that she expects to be able to produce more children with Jinai, which indicates she's not that far off from human, unless the Bugrom have something like the Xenomorph's inherent horizontal gene transfer ability and can mate with nearly anything.
What if Bugrom queens aren't born from other Bugrom queens? What if the Bugrom take a human female and put her through some from of genetic and mental modification to produce a queen? Maybe making queens from various species was part of the Bugrom life cycle and when they started encountering humans, hives with human-origin queens produced Bugrom with human or near human inteligence and came to be the dominant form. Or maybe Bugrom are a bio-weapon/warrior race created in the ancienet wars that produced the Demon Gods.
Whatever the reason, this would let you have Diva as a former priestess of Mt. Muldoon, with her perspective twisted by the process of becoming a Bugrom Queen.

No, I don't believe the world has gone mad. In order for it to go mad it would need to have been sane at some point.
