Hmm yes, this is one of those things that is neither obvious, documented
nor consistent with list virtual methods. (makes a mental note to look
at this and at least update the docs).
I think you should be able to do this:
<h3>Welcome, [% users.get.fname %]</h3>
The DBI plugin returns an iterator which doesn't quite behave
exactly like a list. You need to call get() to get an item from
it instead.
