Narrative:
Climbing through approximately FL280 to the altitude we were cleared to; FL300; we received a TCAS RA. TCAS said 'descend; descend;' so I disengaged the autopilot and initiated descent into green band on V/south. Almost immediately; TCAS changed command to 'climb; climb' so I reversed direction and climbed into the green band until we were clear of traffic. We were IMC. ATC seemed busy and presumably didn't realize they had cleared us to climb through someone else's altitude.
