Sound Change With Labialized Consonant Codas

I thought of something today, and wanted to see if it actually
existed in natural languages.
Has there ever been a case where labialized consonant codas
produced front rounded vowels? Something like the following:
i > y / _C_w
So...
*kik_we > kyk_we
*mek_wt_wa > m2k_wt_wa
It feels like a natural change to me, but I've never run across an
instance of it.
