old two-wire system without a ground wire?

Obviously the neon bulb in the pilot light isn't going to light if it
doesn't have a neutral / ground connection.

Neutral and ground are not the same. A two-wire system has a neutral, but
lacks a ground. Hot and neutral are sufficient to operate a light bulb. Ground
is not necessary for that purpose.
