I cannot say if this is the issue reported here for sure, but the OP has
mentioned "clusters", which may point to the fact that he is trying to
upgrade standby(s) as well.

You need visibly a one-liner like that:
--- a/src/bin/pg_upgrade/controldata.c
+++ b/src/bin/pg_upgrade/controldata.c
@@ -150,7 +150,8 @@ get_control_data(ClusterInfo *cluster, bool live_check)
                 /* remove leading spaces */
                 while (*p == ' ')
                     p++;
-                if (strcmp(p, "shut down\n") != 0)
+                if (strcmp(p, "shut down\n") != 0 &&
+                    strcmp(p, "shut down in recovery\n") != 0)
                 {
                     if (cluster == &old_cluster)
                         pg_fatal("The source cluster was not shut down cleanly.\n");

I have not tested it though.
