>>> dict((k, v) for k, v in ((k, [a for a in v if a in w]) for k, v, w in 
((k, v[0], set(dict2[k][0])) for k, v in dict1.iteritems() if k in dict2)) 
if v)
{'ac': [1, 3, '79b'], 'ab': [2]}

Replacing the genexps with map/filter/lambda is left as an exercise.

I'm trying to set new standards in readability ;)
