Should actual swans count as upright? The way a lot of birds stand looks Semi-Upright. Even those who we see go fully upright like penguins waddle so slowly that the trait would make sense for them.

I think I might reverse myself on this thought. Your swan is SM -1, so a bit of long neck isnt going to get their reach up to out of their hex anyway. It is important for labeling that swans have a neck that is easier to hit than a humans, at least on the swing. So long neck might be the easiest way to show that. The Stretching build is legal but way to awkward, may as well go with the feature.
They are bipeds, if awkward ones. They don't get the advantages of Extra Legs in any movement configuration, and GURPS is all about "what do you get". They move slow, but that is just a matter of buying down their ground move by whatever... though they are not THAT slow...
