You are replying to a thread that is 10 years old. That problem
discussed in the thread has been fixed in Org 9.4.4 or earlier (for
drawers).

In the video, the situation is with folded headings of different length:

* asd
alskdj
* Headingalksjdlaskdj
alskdj

If everything is folded:

* asd...
* Headingalksjdlaskdj<point>...

Pressing C-p will yield

* asd...<point> <-- note <point> after ...
* Headingalksjdlaskdj...

Then, <TAB> will indeed not unfold, before the point is not actually on
heading.
This situation is one of the edge cases with point adjustment in Emacs.

The workaround is simple - M-x org-reveal (C-c C-r).
org-reveal generally works any time the cursor is stuck in the middle of
invisible text.
