I don't think that it is the Clan Wars or the Witch Hunts. I think it's probably more to do with the Remembrance of Time playing a role in the story.

Given how Loki's power is related to mixing the past and present together to create things, it makes more sense for this to be. After all, the first Bayonetta shows Bayonetta finding Rosa dead in the Umbran Witches home so we already know she won't die in this mid-air fight, she dies on the ground. Bayonetta fights the angels from the first game alongside Rosa, including Affinities and Beloveds but she's in her new outfit and with Love is Blue. She also meets the Sage and acts like she's never seen him before and yet he shouldn't be there and she probably has seen him by that point in the game.

I think Bayonetta personally has been trapped in a Remembrance of the past or has been transported back in time, given the 'sepia' tone of the screen and the mixed elements going on here.
