I like this, but it has the same readability issue I noted for cases where decomposition is used:
[(k, v) from somedict.items() if condition(v)]
You're right on readability. On the other hand, unpacking is a common practice in python. Can this be mis-interpreted? (I mean, is it ambiguous?) Also note that custom iterators can generate "items" of arbitrary complexity. This point cannot be addressed by the syntax for comprehensions.
