"Both X's" for a passage INSIDE the first ending, where it will only be seen once? I would find that illogical and confusing, and it would make me doubt the arranger's other markings.

I use the term "Both times" (or "Both x's") in such a situation. Since in
this case the "pickup" actually would be notes within the last measure of
the first ending (if an ending is used) or notes within the final measure
prior to the repeat sign, I also would strongly consider using a small
bracket such as this:

__Both x's
|

Obviously the downward part of that bracket is on track with an imaginary
line that would "run" to the left side of the first pickup note.

 Now for the followup: An instrument is tacet the first time through but
 actually begins playing in the pickup to the repeat -- that is, in the
 first ending. Is the indication 'Play' over the pickup notes the usual way
 of indicating this?
