I can imagine 'tilting' or 'slanting' both sideways and forwards/backwards.
ROLL, PITCH and YAW are unambiguous.
Imagine the camera sitting in the cockpit of a plane, looking forward, then
ROLL - the rotation around the axis 'tail <--> nose'
PITCH - rotation around the axis 'right wing <--> left wing'
YAW - rotation around the third axis (like turning your head)
and CCW being the positive direction.
Your problems with the sky vector may be the fact that sky implies a ROLL
and this ROLL is applied _first_ to match the camera and the sky vector,
then look_at changes the YAW, and finally the PITCH (at least that's my
interpretation of the POV documentation).
Modifying both SKY and RIGHT seems to do the job for me:
#declare TiltAngle = 30
#declare CameraRoll = -TiltAngle*pi/180 // '-' to get CCW for positive
angles
sky -y*cos(CameraRoll) - 4/3*x*sin(CameraRoll)
right -4/3*x*cos(CameraRoll) - y*sin(CameraRoll)
