I ended up adding

if [ -n "$PS1" ]; then
    # only for interactive sessions please
    if [ -f /var/cache/fontconfig/0bd3dc0958fa2205aaaa8ebb13e2872b-le64.cache-7 ]; then
       echo "color emoji will be broken in Chromium again (LP: #1858636) unless you"
       echo "sudo rm /var/cache/fontconfig/0bd3dc0958fa2205aaaa8ebb13e2872b-le64.cache-7"
    fi
fi

to my ~/.bashrc to warn me when this problem is coming back. So far the appearance of this broken font cache file correlates 100% with some snap (any snap! refreshing _lxd_ which has nothing to do with GUI apps or fonts causes this!) getting refreshed, according to the timestamp reported by snap changes.
