It took me a while to get the reason for this strange behaviour of TAB in
org-mode on my computer:
TAB worked fine in folding and unfolding the headings, but failed
otherwise. C-i worked flawlessly in all situations.
The reason for loosing the context sensitive behaviour of TAB was a
concurring key-binding in outline-magic, which I still use in lengthy
documents.
In outline-magic TAB is bound to outline-cycle, whereas org-mode binds
<tab> to org-cycle. TAB and <tab> are different keys, therefore in
a standard setup most of the intuitive behaviour of org-mode gets lost.
Not a common situation but maybe one can patch outline-magic or
org-mode.
Greetings
Thomas

For those of you who don't know, outline-magic is an older package that
adds visibility cycling and structure editing to outline-mode and
outline-minor-mode. All this stuff is already in org-mode. I guess
you are using to get cycling support in other modes?
outline-magic modifies the keymap of outline-mode. Since org-mode is
derived from outline-mode, it inherits all those keybindings, and then
overwrites them where needed.
The problem here seems to be that org.el does not explicitly bind TAB
to org-cycle. The only binding for org-cycle currently is C-i. If TAB
is not bound otherwise, that binding gets passed through from C-i to
TAB, but if there is an explicit binding for TAB, it takes precedence.
Could you try if it helps to add
(define-key org-mode-map [(tab)] 'org-cycle)
somewhere near the end of org.el?

added where the other tab bindings are defined, works for me.
Thanks

OK, this will be part of the next version.
Thanks for the report.
