Sounds like a bug then. Might be less aggravating just to skip this and the hibernate one. No harm submitting a bug report as well.

It's not a bug. Our sims run home after 24 hours. It's recommended to save to the cloud often, at least once a day. We cannot save while a sim is at a neighbors town.

The only way to get the harvest and complete this goal without spending LPs is the advice of bloodcool: "Try to find a garden plot that's far from the letterbox, so that you get enough time to collect the pumpkin while your return Sim is walking out..."

When my sims do long tasks at the neighborhood, I manually save to the cloud, because the auto-save does not work properly. In case anything bad happens, I can reset and download my game without a big loss of progress.

Not a bug? My bad. Have never actually attempted to do any 24 hour neighbour goals. Pretty mean not to give adequate time for one to pick up the pumpkins and complete the goal though. Good advice, bloodcool!
