The compounded expressions with lambda functions are evaluated
incorrectly. The simple expressions, or a named functions are evaluated
good. The problem is only in the evaluation of compounded expressions.
It seems that after evaluate of the first lambda function the
evaluation of whole expression is stopped and not continue (see
cond_error, which may raises the exception during evaluation).

>>> cond = (lambda x : x == 'foo') or (lambda x : x == 'bar')
>>> cond('foo')
True
>>> cond('bar')
False
>>> c1 = lambda x : x == 'foo'
>>> c1('foo')
True
>>> c2 = lambda x : x == 'bar'
>>> c2('bar')
True
>>> def ham(x): return x == 'foo'
...
>>> def spam(x): return x == 'bar'
...
>>> cond2 = lambda x : ham(x) or spam(x)
>>> cond2('foo')
True
>>> cond2('bar')
True
>>> cond2('ham')
False
>>> cond_error = (lambda x : x == 'foo') or (lambda x : y == 'bar')
>>> cond_error('d')
False
BTW: the same problem exists in Python 2.6.2
