If the latter overrides the former, than you could tilt vertical while extending up.
Height is always measured perpendicular to the FRAME PERIMETER as if the ROBOT were sitting on a level floor. See the picture in the manual where the ROBOT is tipping as it goes over a DEFENSE. So there's no question of whether G17 or G18 has precedence - they both apply at all times (with the obvious exception during the endgame).
