Description
1) Create a new project in EPSG:27700
2) Add WMTS http://maps.warwickshire.gov.uk/gs/gwc/service/wmts?REQUEST=GetCapabilities - looking at the "z_OS_vector_basemap" tileset
3) Go to Coventry, at scale 1:150,000.
The tile's being returned look like this:
http://maps.warwickshire.gov.uk/gs/gwc/service/wmts?SERVICE=WMTS&REQUEST=GetTile&VERSION=1.0.0&LAYER=z_OS_Vector_Basemap&STYLE=default&FORMAT=image/png&TILEMATRIXSET=UK_OSGB&TILEMATRIX=UK_OSGB:6&TILEROW=95&TILECOL=40
However, QGIS renders them like the attached. As you can see in the GetCapabilities, 1:150,000 is a native resolution for the tiles, so no interpolation/image modification is necessary, yet QGIS seems to be doing it anyway. This happens at all native resolutions as best I can tell.

The tiles are 1:150000 at which resolution (note that QGIS scale is calculated on screen resolution, not on the arbitrary resolution in the WMS spec; see also #6430)?

Ok. The tiles are rendered at WMS spec resolution (so 90.7142367 dpi).
I get the premise of linked bug, however as OpenLayers (and any web-browser or image viewing app) can display the exact same tiles just fine on the exact same screen, I'm assuming there's a way for QGIS to do so. But that's heading well out of my depth.

Sure. But the 1:1 pixel mapping is not at 1:150000, but on a different scale.

Sorry if I'm missing something here, but the OpenLayers scale is 1:150,000 too.
I appreciate you're both using different pixel sizes, but is there a way to change the pixel size that QGIS uses, at least for OGC WMS requests?

No, the pixel size is a hardware setting.
And the scale reported in QGIS sets the real world size of an object in relation to the shown size on screen no matter what the pixel size / resolution of the used screen is. The WMS spec just defines some (more or less) common pixel size to make (approximate) scales available for configuration purposes, although it doesn't know for which actually resolution the images are going to be used (see also #6430).
