S-Tab probably checks the value of last-command to see if the previous command was also a S-Tab. If the previous command was anything else, then Org Mode has no idea whether the buffer or its visibility has changed since the last-executed S-Tab, since it cannot know which other commands will affect buffer visibility and which will not. So, if the previous command is not S-Tab, then the next S-Tab will restart the cycle from the beginning. Similarly, when you first open a buffer, the value of last-command is probably 'find-file or something.
