I have a nearly similar issue with square aspect ratio animated gifs. They are correctly uploaded, but are shown uglily :  
 ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/f/f/fffe6fdf62689a3104672513fa1ea1a9bd6dedc1.gif)

Without the “?v=0” part of the image link, everything is OK.  
Tested on **Discourse 1.3.0.beta1** and **Firefox 35.0.1** / **Chrome 40.0.2.**

Are animated gifs supported as emoji ?
