It looks like a bug. I opened one: 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=254777.

Most likely what is happening is that the editor doesn't think you're in a 
dynamic web project.  Adding the dynamic web projects manually (which 
isn't "supported" behaviour, but should work) requires to you to edit 
settings/org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.core.xml.  To see what 
should do there, create a new empty dynamic web project with the JSF facet 
and look at the file that gets created.
