Description err 2015-03-28 19:03:15 UTC 
With a tiny project:
    $ ls
    FXMLDocument.fxml*  FXMLDocumentController.java*  SvgWebview.java*

To reproduce:
- Only have FXMLDocumentController.java open in the editor.
- In the project view, right click on FXMLDocument.fxml,
  and choose "Open". This brings up the "Scene Builder"
- Add a new fx:id to something in the scene with scene builder
- save in scene builder (use external editor to verify .fxml file changed)
- In the project view, right click on FXMLDocument.fxml,
  and choose "Make Controller"

Observe in the open FXMLDocumentController.java that the newly added
fx:id is not put into the file by the "Make Controller" action.

Note that if I open the .fxml file and then perform the steps,
it works as expected.

That last sentence should say "edit" not "open". More clearly read:

... if I edit the .fxml file with the IDE editor ...
Comment 2 Roman Svitanic 2015-03-30 09:51:45 UTC 
There has been already filed an issue for this.

Simple workaround is to select Source > Scan for External Changes to make IDE aware of the external changes. Then Make Controller action will work.
