Pass, partner could neither open nor overcall 2D immediately, this is not a fight you wanna be in vul at imps. Admittedly I would never bid the way partner did, but his hand must be pretty weak.

Agree with the above. Also agree that this bidding does not exist.

Pass. Very possible they are on a 4-3.

Pass here and not hanging us for PD's risky prebalance. There's a real good chance that we have only 8♦ and a decent chance that the opps are on a 4-3 fit in ♥.
LOTT really would say pass, and especially vulnerable. If we make 3♦ and 2♥ is down 1, we've gained nothing at IMPs. If we're down 1 and 2♥ makes 8 tricks, we've gained nothing by bidding.
But if we go down doubled in 3♦ and heaven forbid -2 on a part score hand we're going to cry.
Pass and hope we set 2♥ and perhaps two tricks on a lucky day.
