Try reducing the "Effect Size" parameter in the Neon script arguments GUI.
I'm not sure exactly how it is used in the script, but in general it seems larger numbers make the neon glow more blurred, and smaller numbers are less blurred. On my Windows installation the default was too large, and completely blurred out the image I was trying to use. I reduced it by a third and the results were much better.

You could do that and then add the text to the picture as another layer, if that works. I have always just used the text I wanted for this plugin and that has worked for me. One of the experts here may have another solution. I am not sure how many Gimp/Windows users we have on the list, but I would think someone has a solution, if mine doesn't work for you.
