I don't have a TMS z/y/x data set to play with but I do have a vector
tile {z}/{x}/{y}.pbf data set that's not in epsg:3857 which I had some
limited success with when I set both the layer and the project coord system
to that of the tile source. By "limited success" I mean that it was in the
right place, however the zoom levels are not correct. The OpenLayers
configurations that consume these tiles have custom min/max resolutions
defined, not web mercator zoom levels. And I don't see how to accomplish
that in QGIS.
