I used App Center on this Ubuntu machine to find and install Emacs via Snap.

The Snap description includes this:

This snap is built via the build.snapcraft.io service from the 
snapcraft.yaml definition at https://github.com/alexmurray/emacs-snap to 
ensure source and build transparency.

They make no mention of anything custom on their site.
Since neither you nor several people on StackExchange can recreate the 
problem, I will report the issue to the build maintainer on GitHub.
