 The problem seems to come from the change in #10329 to make
 `wp_list_authors()` use the `get_users()` function.  The `show_fullname`
 argument relies on the `first_name` and `last_name` user meta keys, which
 aren't a part of the user objects returned from the user query.

 In the `wp_list_authors()` function in `author-template.php`, we're
 checking for `$author->first_name` and `$author->last_name`, which will
 never be true, so it always shows `$author->display_name`:

 {{{
 if ( $show_fullname && $author->first_name && $author->last_name )
         $name = "$author->first_name $author->last_name";
 else
         $name = $author->display_name;
 }}}

 WP_DEBUG message:

 {{{
 Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$first_name in C:\xampplite\htdocs
 \wp-includes\author-template.php on line 305
 }}}
