We were hit by this unpleasant problem in diff-mode with outline-minor-mode.
In diff-mode TAB moves point to the next hunk, because in browsers TAB moves
to the next link.  But in outline-minor-mode TAB should expand and collapse
on the heading because TAB does this in Org mode.

So we were forced to add such filter:

  (defcustom outline-minor-mode-cycle-filter nil
    "Filter out positions on the heading available for cycling."
    :type '(choice (const :tag "Everywhere" nil)
                   (const :tag "At line beginning" bolp)
                   (const :tag "Not at line beginning"
                          (lambda () (not (bolp))))
                   (const :tag "At line end" eolp)

Then you can choose: when point is at the beginning of the outline heading,
TAB can expand and collapse outlines, when point is not at the line beginning,
TAB moves to the next hunk.
