Follow-up question: I assume you make hoadomo on the onion. Do you regularly eat plain raw onions during the year, or is this the only time?
Also: do you eat any other vegetable in addition to the onion by karpas? (Someone mentioned a potato?)

[imayid2]

The onion is raw or cooked?

The יסוד ושורש העבודה is okay with onions and the האדמה.
"ועל כרפס יזמין עלי בצלים כי על הפוטרזייל חי אין ראוי לברך עליו בורא פרי האדמה"

The אליה רבה though is against using onions because of their odor.

Keep your astonishment for the Ropshitz minhag. Potatoes is used for כרפס although they made a שהכל on potatoes during the year.

סדברה"נ פ"ו הי"ב:
אבל אם דרך רוב בני אדם לאכלם גם כשהן חיין כמו מיני ירקות וקטניות אפילו טובים מבושלים יותר מחיין מברך עליהם בורא פרי האדמה בין חיין בין מבושלים ואפילו מיני ירקות שאין דרך רוב בני אדם לאכלם חיין אלא עם פת או ד"א כגון בצלים וכיוצא בהם מברך עליהם בורא פרי האדמה כשהן חיין אבל בצלים מבושלים מברך עליהם שהכל נהיה בדברו כיון שמתקלקלין כשמבשלין אותם בפני עצמם ואפילו נתבשלו עם בשר ונשתבחו לפי שהבשר או התבשיל שמשביחן הוא העיקר הואיל ובישולם עם בשר ותבשיל הוא כדי שיתנו הם טעמן בבשר ותבשיל ולא הבשר והתבשיל בהם:

Make a (moshiach) seuda before the end of yom tov, wash, continue until after tzeis, eat some chometz, bentch and still say chag hamatzos in yaaleh v'yavo.

Is this a minhag Chabad to eat chometz and still say chag hamatzos in yaaleh v'yavo afterwards, not considering it a תרתי דסתרי? (Like the Mshn"B and some others hold.)

[Essen est zich]

I wouldn't call it a minhag.

But if one would bring chometz to the end of the Moshiach seudah they would say chag hamatzos.

Yea the Mg"a and others likely didn't consider it a תרתי דסתרי, so I was looking for an explanation for it. I guessed there will be written on it if it was a minhag Chabad.
