Same problem. I was able to fix it by removing the district limit from the building upgrades, I think it counts an upgrade as being a second building of the same type (they are still limited to one per district by the level 1 building being district limited). Throw this in common/buildings and you should be able to upgrade them normally.

Gahh! Hope the devs fox this soon (along with Stratified Economy not pleasing Authoritarians due to pre-sapients or Nascent Stage pops...), this is extremely relevant to my current Let's Play campaign (where I am relying heavily on automation...)
