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");
        }
