How to make ft-syntax-omni work with Jade?

Well, ft-syntax-omni is supposed to provide omni autocompletion based on syntax highlighting, I guess. However it does not work with vim-jade plugin. For example, typing tabl followed by hitting <C-x><C-o> says Omni completion (^O^N^P) Pattern not found.

Is there any way to make ft-syntax-omni work properly with vim-jade plugin?

Syntax omnicompletion works best with plain syntax keywords. The Java syntax script defines very few. Your example tabl is not contained in it at all, that's why there's no completion for it. Also, by default, the syntax omnicompletion only considers syntax groups that start with the filetype (jade), but this particular syntax mainly includes other syntaxes (e.g. html).

I see syntax omnicompletion as a fallback for obscure filetypes. If you regularly use a language, find a dedicated completion, or write one yourself!
