The restore should have issued a command to make template1 not be a template database before dropping it. Apparently it did not do so. Looking at the code, a plausible theory for that is that template1 is not marked as a template database in the source cluster. Did you change that, and if so why? It would have broken more things than just pg_upgrade. regards, tom lane
