I am also on sid and see similar (loss of colour emojis) in
xfce4-terminal and geany under X. There was fontconfig update on sid.

Partial solution:

I removed /etc/fonts/conf.d/70-no-bitmaps.conf (as root) and ran
"fc-cache -f" (as user). I still have a few missing emojis in
xfce4-terminal (flags and combined emojis) but geany is fixed.
