Bump for the new boards, because my last post above is an example of the problem.
I actually had some emoji that I just posted in another thread, but apparently they don't save. Everything looked right in preview, though, so it ate them on page save.
I think I know the problem, because I've seen it at work. The backend is mysql, which means the encoding is probably set to utf8, which naturally for mysql, can't actually hold all utf8 codepoints. Emoji live on the astral plane, and need more than 3 bytes. Can you change the encoding of the post text columns to utf8mb4 so I can actually post emoji?
