It's not strange at all if you know what function the TAB key is bound 
to. In cc-mode, it is c-indent-command, and in lisp-mode (the scratch 
buffer's mode) it is lisp-indent-line. (C-h k TAB tells you this - very 
useful!)

What you want is probably tab-to-tab-stop, which is usually bound to M-i.

Regards,
Mathias
