I guess it's explicitly excluded from mappings:
*c_CTRL-I* *c_wildchar* *c_<Tab>*
'wildchar' option
A match is done on the pattern in front of the cursor. The
match (if there are several, the first match) is inserted
in place of the pattern. (Note: does not work inside a
macro, because <Tab> or <Esc> are mostly used as 'wildchar',
and these have a special meaning in some macros.)
But Vim does provide 'wildcharm' to allow you to map something to the wildchar.
You could set that to <Tab> and your mapping will work. Alternatively, you
could set your 'wildchar' option to <Del> and you don't even need the mapping.
