So, the Inquisitor gains the Solo Tactics ability:
and the Broken Wing Gambit feat reads:
You feign weakness, making yourself a tempting and distracting target.
Prerequisite: Bluff 5 ranks.
Benefit: Whenever you make a melee attack and hit your opponent, you can use a free action to grant that opponent a +2 bonus on attack and damage rolls against you until the end of your next turn or until your opponent attacks you, whichever happens first. If that opponent attacks you with this bonus, it provokes attacks of opportunity from your allies who have this feat.
Would an Inquisitor using this feat give allies without it the option to make an AoO if they don't have the feat?
My first instinct was no, but the wording was hazy enough that I thought I'd get a consensus. My player was arguing that having an ally he could treat as having the feat was enough to trigger the Inquisitor's ability to grant them AoO by using the feat, I'm of the opinion that the phrase "Her allies do not receive any bonuses from these feats unless they actually possess the feats themselves." means that the allies also have to have Broken Wing Gambit to make an AoO.

You do count as your own ally, so I believe you would get an AoO.
Also, I could read this without hearing:
"Take these broken wings, and learn to fly again, learn to live so free..."
Gaah, now it's stuck in my head!!!!
I feel like this is one of those situations where it doesn't really make sense for you to count as your own ally... but maybe that's just me. It would make this feat super good though, since you essentially get the Reverse Feint feat and the ability for your allies to potentially make AoO as well. Under that reading, I'd almost take it just for the AoO and make an Inquisitor with the Rage Domain who focuses on the Fast Healing aspect of his Judgement.
