Hi, Sorry for coming into this thread a bit late. You basically found out something that's fairly well-known (at least for many of the font people) about emoji fonts, or bitmap fonts in general. Most Emoji fonts internally store the glyph shapes as colour bitmaps - png, sbix, etc, so they are fixed resolution. The only known exception AFAIK at the moment are a few emoji fonts from Mozilla/Adobe camp, which stores them as SVG's. As general bitmap fonts go, obviously trying to load them at a size not at one of the designed size, would fail with an "invalid pixel size" error.
I added some code to skip "invalid pixel size" in FontVal a while ago, because, as I explained above, it is not a fatal error, and quite expected for certain kind of fonts, and therefore does not indicate a flaw in the font. The list of designed sizes are listed at the bottom of a "ftdump <font>", so you can get at them. There is also a Emoji font display example in freetype-py . You might find it quicker to use the freetype python binding than with compiled code for certain tasks or explorations.
