Is it still broken after Alvaro added the alternate expected file, and
if so why?  I don't see a reason that this should be failing only there.
I also note that it seems to be passing fine on buildfarm members other
than pitta.

That seems like a kluge, not a solution.  There's no reason I can see
why pg_upgrade's repeat of the regression tests should be more sensitive
to locale environment than the main run is.
