I'm wondering where one can find more or less up-to-date data on the inertia matrix of the ISS. A full historical dataset would be great, of course. A discussion of error margins is desirable.

ThePlanMan was on the right track. The 'On-Orbit Assembly, Modeling, and Mass Properties Data Book' contains inertia tensors for each assembly step of the ISS.
- On-Orbit Assembly, Modeling, and Mass Properties Data Book volume 1, 2002
- On-Orbit Assembly, Modeling, and Mass Properties Data Book volume 1, 2008
- On-Orbit Assembly, Modeling, and Mass Properties Data Book volume 2, 2008
I haven't found a more recent edition than 2008.
These don't mention error margins. Since mass and dimensions are listed to 1 mm and 1 kg (and not rounded to larger values) I'd expect the error margins to be in the region of 1 kg*mm$^2$.
