Hi Ryan,
here I do not agree with your assessment.
Putting the cursor at the beginning of a headline and pressing M-RET
is a specific exception of the normal workings of the command, and it
create a sibling above the entry.
If you want to make use of the indentation cycling, I think you should
go to the end of the subtree above by pressing LEFT, and then use M-
RET annd then TAB to get your level right.

I have discovered a possible bug with the new 6.33 feature of
cycling empty headline levels with TAB. IT seems that org will
always assume that the initial level of the headline is the "base"
level. Pressing TAB once will always go one level deeper than that,
to the "child" level, TAB a second time will go one level shallower
than the base level, and so on.
the problem is that I expect the "base" level to be based on the
previous headline's level, not on the initial level of the empty
headline itself. The problem would not usually show itself, because
if you press meta+RET at the end of a headline, you get a new empty
one at the same level as the previous headline. However, if you
press meta+RET at the *beginning* of a headline (before the stars),
you get a new empty headline at the same level as the *next*
headline, which might not be the same level as the previous headline.
Here's a simple test case:
* Head1
** Head2
Put the point at the very beginning of the second heading, and press
meta+RET, then TAB. You should get this:
* Head1
*** [point is here]
** Head2
The following is what I would *expect* to get:
* Head1
* [point is here]
** Head2
So basically, the base level for depth cycling should be determined
from the previous headline, not the new blank headline. At least,
that's what I expected, and I can't think of any reason you would
want to put a level-3 headline under a level-1 headline.
