I don't think there is such an option, but this is programmable. Just clone the variable in a temporary variable, strip it of its variable label and fire up the command. Strictly you need a new variable label that is the name, but the effect is as you wish.
Rough demonstration sketch, largely untested:
program jmptab
version 8.2
syntax varname [if] [in] [fweight aweight iweight] [, *]
tempvar clone
clonevar `clone' = `varlist'
label var `clone' "`varlist'"
tab `clone' `if' `in' [`weight' `exp'] , `options'
end

Is there some option in tab that presents the real name of a variable
instead of the label attached to it? Something alike -tab varname, nolab-
used to present a tabulation not using the values label.
