Yeah, first I've replaced the above with exactly those, but the behavior
was different.  When I've hidden an inner block and then an outer block
(like, a function definition with an inner for loop), I was unable to
show it again.

I suspect that `line-beginning-position' and `line-end-position'
consider "real" lines, whereas the move-functions mean visible lines.
In a hidden block {...} the open brace is not on the same real line than
the closing one.

Yep, that makes it much simpler:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(eval-after-load 'hideshow
  ;; Use TAB to toggle hiding/showing a block.
  '(progn
     (define-context-key hs-minor-mode-map
       (kbd "TAB")
       (and (not (hs-already-hidden-p))
            (eq last-command this-command))
       hs-hide-block)

     (define-context-key hs-minor-mode-map
       (kbd "TAB")
       hs-already-hidden-p
       hs-show-block)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Thanks for the hint!
