NeuralHash is a perceptual hash, not a cryptographically secure hash. Perceptual hashes have trivially findable second preimages by design, as the entire point is for two different images which appear visually similar to return the same result. It's not particularly surprising to me that a perceptual hash might also have collisions that don't look similar to the human eye, though if Apple ever claimed otherwise this counterexample is solid proof that they're wrong.
