I could swear I had a camera (not a Canon) that did this, and I'm sure it was the IBIS that was improperly calibrated. It was, as you say, a very small amount (1-3 degrees). I tried the following: instead of the spirit level, I used the rule of thirds grid in the display, went to a big plains and put the lower line of the grid over the horizon. I shot a burst with the electronic shutter, trying my best to not move the camera. And indeed, not a single photo came out perfectly level. I then rotated the body slightly in the preferred direction of the tilt, took another burst and, voilá, level photos.

If you gather enough evidence, you could get the R3 fixed by Canon, especially if you're a CPS member.

If you think it's the IBIS, then turning it off should give the answer...

Above description sounds like a miscalibrated assembly. Basically what the camera thinks is level is wrong. IBIS may just be trying to achieve that, so if this is the case, it would need some recalibration
