Right now, Armory would compute the wrong address, even if it could uncompress the keys.

why would armory be uncompressing anything, if all i'm giving it are private keys.... are private keys compressed?

sorry i'm not getting this yet

If your wallet was created after Satoshi client version 0.6, and you export your private key and import it into Armory, you will get a different address.

In fact, you won't even be able to import it, because the core devs added an extra 0x01 byte to the end of these private keys as a way to distinguish that they are supposed to use compressed public keys (and thus will have a different address). Armory will not recognize the 33-byte private keys, and will generate the wrong addresses.
