Microwaves do not heat evenly. If one part of the glass object is heated more than others, and if the object had some kind of stress fracture (which may well be invisible to the naked eye) the expansion of the heated part may cause cracks to form, and break the object.

Can you put microwave dishes in oven?
A conventional oven projects heat onto an object, warming it by passing the heat into the object from the heating elements. If the oven is turned off, the heat remains built up in the oven and the object will continue to cook until the heat has been dissipated. A microwave oven vibrates molecules to create heat from inside the object. Once the microwave stops, the molecules stop vibrating and the heat stops. The only heat remaining is eminating from the object as it cools. A microwave dish is sometimes made of plastic, Melamine or glass. None of these are safe to use in a conventional oven. Some glass containers such as Pyrex Glass are made for a conventioanl oven. Other glass containers may break. Glass will not melt with the heat an oven can produce, but the uneven cooling of the outside may differ from the inside and it could break. http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2002/SaiLee.shtml Glass not made for microwaves may break in the microwave. Bubbles in the glass may expand and crack the glass.
