CREATE DATABASE is not defined to copy database-level properties,
only the contents of the database.  As it says in the manual,
this is not really intended as a general-purpose database copying
command in the first place.  For its intended purpose, copying
database-level properties wouldn't be particularly desirable.
Certainly you wouldn't want it to clone the database's ownership
or ACL.
