If the skylight results in the room getting hotter, and no moisture is added, the relative humidity decreases. But, it still doesn't change the dew point.
If the toilet is ont a low-flow one, then consider changing it. Most of the low-flow toilets have a fair amount more water in the tank than is flushed down each time. this is especially true if you go with something like the new Toto Aquia and you don't need the full flush. This means that the incoming water will be mixed with some that is already been warmed some by the room.
Another thing you could try is to open the wall where the pipe runs and make a big loop after expanding the pipe to a large diameter. This would put more volume of water inside of the room that potentially would get warmed some in between flushes when you refill the tank. I'd have to do some calculations to determine if that would be a great idea, but the concept is okay.
Having grown up in Spencerport, I guess it just depends on who supplies your water and where the nearest water tower is...our supply wasn't all that cold in the summer. Given the nature of where the frost line is, it did get cold in the winter. I don't remember this being a big problem growing up, but then again, how often does a kid notice that sort of thing! I run the a/c at home now, and thus, it is a non-factor.
Moving some air across the thing would tend to warm it up so the time it could condense would be limited, and then what was there gets evaporated. But, if this is flushed at short regular intervals, I think you will need to consider a tempering valve, since otherwise, you will just keep chilling the tank and condensing.
