org mode somehow (I have no idea how or why) manages to distinguish
between TAB and C-i and this distinction is inherited by minor modes
operating within an org mode buffer.  For auto-complete, the fix is
easy:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(require 'auto-complete)
(require 'auto-complete-config)
(ac-config-default)
;; (define-key ac-complete-mode-map "\t" 'ac-expand)
(define-key ac-complete-mode-map [tab] 'ac-expand)     ; <<--- add this line
;; (define-key ac-complete-mode-map "\r" 'ac-complete)
#+end_src

I've included two commented out lines: they are the defaults set by
auto-complete.  I found, before adding the annotated line, that C-i
worked as expected within an auto-complete pop-up but the tab key
didn't.  With this key binding, it does.

I do find, however, that although the \r (return key) works (accepts the
completion proposed by auto-complete), *sometimes* org-mode also
interprets it so that two things happen when I hit the key.  I've not
yet figured out when it does this in any reproducible manner
unfortunately.
