Yes, I confirm this is (partly) broken.  

I use this in emacs-lisp-mode:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun org-cycle-global ()
  (interactive)
  (org-cycle t))

(defun org-cycle-local ()
  (interactive)
  (save-excursion
    (move-beginning-of-line nil)
    (org-cycle)))

(global-set-key (kbd "C-M-]") 'org-cycle-global)
(global-set-key (kbd "M-]") 'org-cycle-local)
#+end_src

org-cycle-local still works, but org-cycle-global doesn't anymore.

I'll try to look at this.

Yes, this makes sense to have this in outline-mode rather than in
org-mode.
