As I understand it, this problem arises when you change the tab position within the related heading style. I'd say, in your case, that the problem appears to be that the docs are probably pointing to different templates and either the heading styles or the TOC styles are different between the doc templates. (Please tell me you're not using Normal.dot). You should be able to fix this by using the style organizer to copy the good style into the bad template.

There are two tabs for TOC 1 and two tabs for TOC 2. In one document the first tab of each TOC style doesn't display, in the other document it does display. I have been over and over the TOC setup, checking and re-checking each detail. I have removed and replaced the troublesome TOC many times. I have checked the heading styles and there are no differences. It has me stumped. I've never seen a Word TOC misbehave before. Is this a new 'feature' in Word 7?
