"So-called" is correct. According to the schematics, it consisted of a
feedback capacitor from the output end of the pi-tank, back to the
cathode. This will produce feedback of variable amplitude and phase,
depending on the settings of the bandswitch and the tuning and loading
controls. It's hardly surprising that the amp was more liable to
oscillate at some frequency.

A wise decision, since it never could possibly do what it was intended
to.

I'm not familiar with that schematic: would that be real neutralization,
or more of the bogus kind?
