I have added this hook, see my other message.

I guess what you can do it to talk to the yasnippet author and try to  
make it
attach itself to Org-mode in the proper way.

With the new release, the proper way would be this:

1. Write a function that checks for an executes the yasnippet
    action, and returns t. If no snippet is to be expanded, the
    function must return nil.

2. Yasnipped should use an `eval-after' form to check for the
    existence of the hook o`rg-tab-after-check-for-cycling-action'
    and to add the new function to that hook.

3. The current way of setting up yasnippet for Org-mode might be
    used as a backup method for older versions of Org, even though,
    as you noted, it breaks some functionality in Org.
