I can confirm that pg_upgrade does case-insensitive comparisons of
encoding/locale names:

static void
check_locale_and_encoding(ControlData *oldctrl,
ControlData *newctrl)
{
/* These are often defined with inconsistent case, so use pg_strcasecmp(). */
if (pg_strcasecmp(oldctrl->lc_collate, newctrl->lc_collate) != 0)
pg_log(PG_FATAL,
"old and new cluster lc_collate values do not match\n");
if (pg_strcasecmp(oldctrl->lc_ctype, newctrl->lc_ctype) != 0)
pg_log(PG_FATAL,
"old and new cluster lc_ctype values do not match\n");
if (pg_strcasecmp(oldctrl->encoding, newctrl->encoding) != 0)
pg_log(PG_FATAL,
"old and new cluster encoding values do not match\n");
}
