Personally I'd be fine with removing the implicit function
scope from comprehensions and allowing yield in them, since
the semantics of that are clear.

But I don't see a way to do anything equivalent with
generator expressions. Since the current effect of
yield in a generator expression is pretty useless,
it seems best just to disallow it.

That means a list comprehension won't be equivalent
to list(generator_expression) in all cases, but I
don't think there's any great need for it to be.
