Agreed, I'm surprised the linked OP filed a bug for Webkit when I'd say it's the only correct implementation. HTML is for UIs and I don't think many users would expect an emoji to be counted as 11 symbols when it looks like just one. If this wasn't an emoji but a symbol from a more complex writing system splitting that up would clearly be unacceptable, so I don't see why one should make an exception here just because this one known example of a family emoji still mostly survives the truncation.
