I wonder if internally the emoji's are added through a different mechanism that doesn't pick up the original request. E.g. another LLM thread that has the instruction "Is this apologetic? If it is, answer with exactly one emoji." After this emoji has been forcefully added, the LLM thread that got the original request is trying to reason why the emoji would be there, resulting in more apologies and trolling behaviour.
So the LLM makes up a reason for why it used an emoji
This reminds me of how split-brain patients would confabulate the reasons for the actions performed by the other brain:

You might share a split brain with me. I had this exact thought, but decided to leave it out of my comment.
Can recommend the video from cgpgrey on it to anyone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfYbgdo8e-8
