This sub often claims the term "neoliberal" is not used in economics. However, as an example, the National Bureau of Economic Research, a highly respected economics research organisation, frequently uses the term in its papers, and not just when quoting others. What accounts for this discrepancy?

Since 2010 there have been nearly 20,000 working papers released by the NBER. In that time the keyword search you did populates no more than 60. I would not define this as frequently using the term.
1. Most of them are economic history, and they have to use terms from other disciplines, like politics.
2. You think 85 searches is a lot? Marijuana provides 461 search results. Income tax is under 40,000. Rational addiction is 17,000. Sports gambling is 3,600.
So, no, neoliberal is not a commonly used term in the discipline.
