The Cameroonian goalkeeper, 32, completely misjudged a harmless cross, punching it into his own net.
The goal allowed Los Che to equalise before Denis Cheryshev grabbed a winner just after-half time to secure Neville's fifth win in six matches.
It was a valuable victory for Neville's men, who had seen their recent improvement in La Liga brought to an abrupt halt by a 3-0 home defeat to Athletic Bilbao on Sunday.
Valencia had started strongly, forcing a series of free-kicks in the Malaga half, but were knocked back when Cop netted the early opener for their mid-table rivals.
Brazilian striker Charles had a chance to double the home side's lead before Kameni was called into action for the first time to block an effort from Aderlan Santos.
Moments later Kameni was left in despair when he flapped wildly at a high cross and somehow contrived to direct it into his own net in front of his startled team-mates.
Cheryshev completed the Valencia comeback in the 49th minute but the home side were not quite done with substitute Ricardo Horta coming close to grabbing an equaliser.
Roberto Rosales missed the target for Malaga and Rodrigo missed a chance for the visitors before Miguel Torres saw the last hope of a Malaga equaliser go begging in injury time.
