It's been pronounced that way since the unit was introduced.
I think they chose the word just to mean 'foremost' or 'best' or 'premier' from its Latin meaning, and I'm sure any irony associated with the name is lost on the Japanese.

I do admit, the series is not bad. I actually enjoy it a little more than the 2011 series mostly because the CG producer is much cooler than the 2011 producer (he kind of ruined the anime for me in my opinion).
The CG producer doesn't talk very much. But, you know what they say. Actions speak louder than words.

The Japanese dubs or productions I was thinking of referred to "Primus" as プライマス (Puraimasu) - I wasn't aware that there different transliterations of the Latin word in katakana.
And of course, since that Primus belongs to a rival company's IP, I doubt that Bandai Namco would have deliberately chosen to use the name with that reference in mind. I was thinking more of how things have gone in the show, with Triad Primus being used to upset the Cinderella Project's apple cart...
