As Andrea (afercia) mentioned in today's chat, the alt text on replaced emoji is the emoji itself:

Reported upstream via twitter/twemoji/#41 .

https://github.com/twitter/twemoji/issues/41 since GH didn't hotlink the text.

I'm inclined to agree with the conclusion of twitter/twemoji#41 - alt text is used by all other browsers for copy/paste, and there's no way for us to generate an aria-label from the client side. (Even doing it on the server side may not be a viable option - it would be quite slow.)
