Hmm. I think the citext update script is missing a couple of things.
Try this after the CREATE EXTENSION step:
update pg_attribute set attcollation = 100 where atttypid = 'citext'::regtype;
It looks like pg_index.indcollation is an issue too, but the least
fragile way to fix that might be to drop and recreate indexes on
citext columns.
