The only case it doesn't cover is where the second filter depends on the value of x, and even that can be covered with a *tiny* bit more work:
gen = ((x, 3*x**2-5*x+4) for x in seq if x % 3 != 2) result = [y[1] for y in gen if -y[0] < y[1] < y[0]]
It requires no new syntax, no changes to the behaviour of list comps, no new meaning on "as", it's understandable and readable.
I think it would be more readable without index references, but instead using tuple unpacking::
gen = ((x, 3*x**2-5*x+4) for x in seq if x % 3 != 2) result = [b for (a, b) in gen if -a < b < a]
It can even be done as a single expression without (IMO) significantly affecting readability::
result = [ b for (a, b) in ((x, 3*x**2-5*x+4) for x in seq if x % 3 != 2) if -a < b < a]
IMHO, when a comprehension requires more than a single line, it should turn into explicit loop. <snip>
