This is a known problem without a good solution.
It misbehaves even when tab-always-indent is set to 't'.

So you propose to cycle only at the beginning of the line?
But when tab-always-indent is set to 't', sometimes typing TAB
at the beginning of the line is expected to indent the line
instead of cycling outlines.
