I agree with you that it is more comfortable and more similar to what has already been done in initdb. IMO it would be easier to do it like this:

done that way

Thank you!

BTW it's somewhat crummy that it uses a string comparison, so if you
write "UTF8" without a dash, it says this; it took me a few minutes to
see the difference...

postgres=# create database a LC_COLLATE "en_US.UTF8" LC_CTYPE
"en_US.UTF8" LOCALE "en_US.UTF8";
ERROR:  new collation (en_US.UTF8) is incompatible with the collation
of the template database (en_US.UTF-8)

Perhaps we could check the locale itself with the function normalize_libc_locale_name (collationcmds.c). But ISTM that the current check is a safety net in case the function pg_get_encoding_from_locale (chklocale.c) returns -1 or PG_SQL_ASCII...

This is not new behavior in PG15, is it?

No, it has always existed [1] AFAICS..
