This is not a bug and

not going to be changed.

You need to choose one of the many other ways to accomplish your goal.

The specific behavior is that the template1 database which is being used as
a template (by default) has a public schema owned by the bootstrap
(postgres typically) user. The create database commands clones the
template database exactly as it is defined. The documentation covers this
dynamic in considerable detail.

You can clone "template0" or add "DROP SCHEMA" or "ALTER SCHEMA" to your
script if you want the final result to not look like template1.
