Sorry, can't help with 7.2.3 but it does work with 7.2.1 in similar
circumstances:

                           version
-------------------------------------------------------------
 PostgreSQL 7.2.1 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC 2.96

psql avbrief -c "select userid,upper(userid) from users where
userid='sdclee'"
 userid | upper
--------+--------
 sdclee | SDCLEE
(1 row)

psql avbrief -c "select userid,upper(userid) from users where
upper(userid)='SDCLEE'"

 userid | upper
--------+--------
 sdclee | SDCLEE
(1 row)

However, looking at your output, it looks like 'ADMIN' may be 'ADMIN   ', so
check that out.
To prove it, how about :

> track=# select loginname, upper(loginname) from tperson where
> upper(loginname)  like 'ADMIN%';

Hope that helps
