If I may weigh in on this conversation, the Directors discuss Neo and Emerald's semblances in the Director's commentary. The exact words they use are 'Individual Mental Hallucinations' for Emerald's semblance, and 'Manifest illusions for everyone to see' about Neo's semblance. Gray goes on to clarify; "Neo is the Illusionist, Emerald is the Hallucinator."

So the teleportation we see in No Brakes in not an effect of Neo's semblance. I personally believe it is an illusion.

Chish was kind enough to get a frame by frame shot at one point, which showed that an image of Neo was still there after the flash had finished passing. Whether this means she was still there, or her jumping back was an illusion and she dropped a flash bang to cover her opening a side door on the carriage or something, I don't know. Perhaps the flash was part of the illusion of her jumping away. Perhaps the glass effects only happen when the illusions are broken, and she prefers breaking illusions to simply dispelling them because it's fancier.
