Considering that at least one another cut in the 2.0 trailer looks quite unfinished (Misato slapping Ritsuko has a plain blue sky in the background that's begging to have other shit layered in front of it), this could well be. It certainly has provoked my curiosity for some time why the crosses are just "standing still" instead of doing what would normally be expected of them.

..."operates differently"?

It seems then that the gender might not be as clear, if we can assume or hope that the artist of the picture wasn't just drawing what they wanted to see.
The artist was apparently using the shitty recording as a reference, so the omission of breasts is not surprising. As mentioned, folks who actually saw the trailer in person think that the character is a she.
And now, just for lulz, a breakdown of the shakycam trailer, sort of like what
Gendo'sPapa did earlier, only drawing from the combined wisdom of the thread. (Or something.) But I'm not including timestamps because I'm providing shitty images instead.
I have no fucking clue. Going by one of the trailer reviews, it might be Eva-05 seen from the front. (The chin of the Eva would be right below the bright light, which is emanating from the ... visor, I guess.)
(EDIT:
Yes, it is Eva-05.)
Dummy-plugged Eva-01 getting ready to punch in Eva-03's head.
Eva-00 leaping in mid-sprint, with the color scheme (yellow/blue/white) unchanged from 1.0. Offhand it doesn't look like pylons have been added.
Eva-02 running while paired weapons pop out of the pylons (making a weird bluish cap go flying off on the right side). Are they both the same thing? Is either one the prog knife pictured in the Honda illustration from Newtype?
Eva-01's foot about to kick up a fuckton of dirt. (From Sahaquiel sprint.)
Eva-01 powering up ATF to catch Sahaquiel.
Shinji in dorky striped shirt, holding onto the ?railing of a ship?. Possibly talking to Kaji, to be seen later.
Misato. Probably from some bonding-with-Shinji scene associated with the Sahaquiel arc. (Either that, or she's telling Kaji how happy she is to see him...)
Captain Langley Shikinami. Looks like she's standing on top of some part of Eva-02 (not really obvious in the left screencap).
(EDIT: But it's more obvious
here.)
Rei in decrepit apartment, talking to herself or to someone we can't see.
Gendo getting picked up from Yui's "grave".
Ritsuko getting ready to have her
glasses slapped off (I bet).
Shinji hoisting himself up, wearing his SDAT ear buds. Bunch of shit in the foreground that's too blotchy to comment on.
A railway track switching out.
A car and some other vehicles.
School girls (including Asuka?) going up an exterior stairway. ?Shinji in the foreground.
Tokyo-3 in the mist.
烏の群。Er, I mean crows. Corresponds to a
shot from episode 18, when the Evas are waiting for Bardi to show up.
Space satellite thingy.
(Yes, it's very obvious to me now that there are no children in this image. Please, stop making fun of me!!!!)E-Z Pass lanes.
Tokyo-3's array of light-condensing buildings (on the shore of Ashinoko).
Some of the "random scenery" skipped over due to laziness.
Crappy animation of those fucked-up "legs" walking on water and making pretty things happen. Also, some darker stills that show just how "icy" the water's getting. I'm having
Fantasia flashbacks.
More to come...
