Comment (by markcallen):

 Where appropriate use a screen reader class to populate the span.

 TwentyFourteen has one ready, as does Bootstrap and others. You can just
 copy the styles to create your own if necessary.

 It would then look something like this

 {{{<span class="genericon genericon-wordpress"><span class="screen-reader-
 text">WordPress</span></span>}}}

 This wins on all fronts
 * Content is kept on save
 * It stays in place when changing between Visual/Text views
 * Content is not displayed
 * Screen readers get something meaningful
