[Proj] rotated ellipsoid (towgs84)

I try the following datum transformation from WGS84 to a rotated Bessel
ellipsoid. The back-transformation gives a height difference of 0.01 m.

Is this due to the approximate rotation computation (assuming cos = 1,
sin = rad and sin*sin = 0) ?
Are these rotation values too big?
What can I do to get the same values or smaller differences for the
back-transformation?
