According to the rules as written on Powers, p. 32, your worry will vanish.
Such not-quite-Cosmic Irresistible attacks merely ignore DR from lesser powers. DR as a wild advantage is not affected. Inanimate objects, normal cops or safes all have their DR as their racial, natural, wild advantages; their DR doesn't come from magic/psionics/superpower/whatever in most cases.

You're absolutely right, my example is totally off base. and it's not all Cosmic enhancements that are reduced, either, just Lingering Attack and Irresistible Attack!

My original comments appear in other's quotes above, but I edited them to prevent the spread of misinformation!
