I actually can't find any general reference that strictly requires a neutral to be connected on a 14-50 (or a receptacle generally that requires a neutral).
The closet thing I can come up with is 110.3(B) which says listed and labeled equipment shall be installed in accordance with instructions from the listing and labeling. Might learn more from UL 498, but I don’t have a copy of that.
I did try to follow up on this.Maybe I’ll post it on an electrical forum later to see, because I am quite curious now.
Discussion here if anyone cares to follow along. Spoiler alert, it’s not a terribly productive discussion…

I’m not sure I got a strong consensus, but if I had to go with something, I would stick with 110.3(B). At a minimum, I don’t think there’s anything else that’s going to require it, so I think it’s that or nothing.
But only two people actually cited 110.3(B) and it took 23 posts to get to the first one (despite me putting it in the very first post as a suggestion…and referencing it again on two additional posts).
