How can I use the Tab key to indent in vim with SuperTab enabled?

Question

I've just enabled SuperTab in vim, and if I try to indent a blank line, SuperTab is attempting to insert strings. What I'd like, I guess, would be to have SuperTab offer completions only if there is non-whitespace to the left of the cursor.

I don't want to have to use Ctrl-V or Ctrl-Q or anything.

What you are asking for is a key feature of supertab. That's why I think your problem is caused by other plugins or mappings. — Jan, May 14 '13 at 17:18
@Zack No need to drop it, see my answer (and possibly accept it) :-) — timss, May 14 '13 at 17:35

This could be caused by an old version of snipmate, update to the forked version maintained by Gargas.
It has quite a few dependencies so I'd recommend using Vundle if you're not already using it.

See comments to OP for more information.

msanders/snipmate.vim conflicts with supertab.
