See bug 425821 comment 1 for details.

The Tern index parser currently outputs "Array" rather than the type application "Array.<Object>" when a Tern file provides a type "[?]" or "[Object]". This was done to work around a bug in the content assist engine, which seems to ignore these type applications.

So for example, in the nodeIndex there's this:
> "module": {
>   "children": "[Object]"
> }
When the generated signature is Array.<Object>, module.children never appears in the completion list.

The parser should be changed to output the type application, and the engine bug should be fixed.
