Yeah, that's what I figured from the default templates:

A header.php file consisting of:

<?
$forums = get_forums();
$topics = get_latest_topics();
?>
<? if($forums): ?>
	<? foreach($forums as $forum): ?>
		<p><? forum_name() ?></p>
	<? endforeach; ?>
<? endif; ?>

Results in:

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p></p>

So $forums is populated with 8 items (I can see them when I 
print_r($forums)), but forum_name() doesn't seem to "get it".

For what it's worth, here's an excerpt of print_r($forums):

Array
(
     [0] => stdClass Object
         (
             [forum_id] => 1
             [forum_name] => Travel
             [forum_desc] => This is the description.
             [forum_order] => 0
             [topics] => 1
             [posts] => 1
         )

     [1] => stdClass Object
         (
             [forum_id] => 2
             [forum_name] => Career
             [forum_desc] => This is the description.
             [forum_order] => 0
             [topics] => 0
             [posts] => 0
         )
