I'm using 6.27a on Linux and it works fine for me.

Putting the cursor after the ] of 'Wed]' and hitting RET and then TAB
works fine for me.  I get this:

,----
| * TODO Some text
|   SCHEDULED: <2009-05-27 Wed>
|   [2009-05-27 Wed]
|   |<-- cursor here
| * Some other text
`----

Is your TAB key bound to the correct function?  (C-h k TAB) gives me
 - <tab> runs the command yas/expand
   in my regular setup and
 - <tab> runs the command org-cycle
   in my minimal emacs setup

Both work the same for me.
